a) The compulsory retirement age for pilots is 60 on ground of air
security; the compulsory retirement age for air crew is 50 (after that
staff can apply for carrying out ground work) on ground of customer
expectations (based on customer feedback) and air security;
b)
Special benefits, such as free flight tickets for air crew, are reserved
for employees who are married and are not to be extended to those in a
civil partnership (Member State A generally maintains a distinction
between marriage and civil partnerships);
c) Pregnant air hostesses
are transferred to perform ground duties (office work) on the ground
that work as air crew exposed them to physical agents, such as ionising
and non-ionising radiation which may cause foetal lesions. These
transfers lead to the loss of the special ‘air crew supplement’;
d)
The pension contributions of air hostesses are higher than those of
stewards reflecting the fact that retired air hostesses live longer than
retired stewards.
