The age (possibly race too) discrimination by CAE recruitment in the USA Dallas HQ. Not only had I held a mid-level Management position in CAE overseas, I also had worked previously for PARC Aviation, ( CAE has teamed up with them for recruiting under the name CAEParc ), as a contract instructor at EK in Dubai for approximately 3 years.
While still overseas, I was offered a position as a TKI, with some limited CFI duties, in Phoenix-Arizona. However, I was needed to conduct an Audit in another country, and when I returned to my base, I was advised that the Phoenix position had been eliminated, all ground training was shifted back to Europe, but I could still apply for a CFI position in Phoenix with less remuneration, relocation assistance, etc. I declined and returned to the USA with wife and children in 2016.
I am 53 years old, have applied for several positions with CAE in USA, 1 Auditor and at least 9 other management and / or instructor positions in the last 12 months. Despite meeting and exceeding the requirements of most of the positions I applied for, the CAE USA recruitment team has refused to so much as to offer me an opportunity to interview at the very least.
