[BC] Making engineering pay - Age Discrimination

[John Buffaloe]

No Rich it's because they called me before deciding not to talk to you.  I
told them the horrors of the arm flapping while tears were running down my
face.  I tried not to do it, but I'm too damaged from the years of abuse to
keep from letting it slip out.  I have to go to my shrink now.  Goodbye.

 From personal experience I'd argue with that. I applied for the PD 
position at a Public station. I wasn't even given the courtesy of an 
interview "because I wasn't currently working at a station." Does one 
lose decades of experience the day one leaves a station? It's my 
belief I wasn't even considered (I have Public Radio Experience) 
because I'm not a twenty or thirty-something.
