Two Kiwi pilots have won an employment case against airline giant Cathay Pacific after the Hong Kong-based company tried to force them to retire early.
Auckland-based pilots David Brown and Glen Sycamore are Cathay Pacific pilots of more than 20 years who are employed by a New Zealand-based subsidiary of the airline.
Their employment agreements with that subsidiary, New Zealand Basing (NZBL), meant that when they turned 55 years old, the airline could require them to retire.
When both did reach that age in 2015, the airline tried to enforce their retirement, but the pilots brought a personal grievance claim which alleged this was illegal as it discriminated against them because of age.
