Hiring Older People

[CathyS]

Hello! I will be retiring from teaching in 3 years and want to go back to being a FA. I was one in my 20's for United Express, aka, Presidential. Do you hire older people? I feel as if we have work and life experiences that brings benefits to the job. Thank you!

Age cannot be considered when hiring as it is illegal.  The exception is where the position has age as a limit and meets Federal guidelines.  An example is a new enrollee at the FBI where the age is limited to 37.
