2. It was not reasonable for her to not apply for airline jobs as ” it was incumbent upon the plaintiff to explore available positions in the very industry in which she had spent her entire working life.”
3. The judge knocked 3 months off a 24 month notice period and then reduced damages by a future 15% discount on the amount owing from the date of the hearing to the end of the 21 month notice period as the judge felt ” that there is a real and substantial possibility that she will find a job commensurate with her qualifications and experience at some point during the balance of the notice period.”
