Brett, who is $50,$ applied to work as an engineer at Weyland Corporation. Brett was interviewed by Bishop, an existing Weyland employee, who was older than Brett. If Brett is not hired for the position despite having the required level of education, what is Weyland's best defense.

Since the job is somewhat alien and requires space travel, an applicant's age is a bonified occupational qualification.

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act $($ADEA$)$ only protects existing employees over $40$ years old.

Weyland did not engage in age discrimination since the interviewer, Bishop, was older than Brett.

Weyland can choose not to hire employees over a certain age pursuant to their bylaws.
