False

Explanation:

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) was enacted to protect employees or applicants of over 40 years of age, but certain limitations apply. For some jobs age is a bona fide occupational qualification due to intensive physical labor, and that includes pilots. Pilots are required by law to be physically and mentally fit to perform their jobs due to safety issues.
