1Opinion of the Court

BRORBY, Circuit Judge.

Six1 former Sears employees (Plaintiffs) alleged Sears used its buy-out program to force them out of their jobs in violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. The jury returned a verdict in favor of Plaintiffs. Sears appeals alleging there is insufficient evidence to support the verdict. Plaintiffs appeal the amount of damages the jury awarded, the trial court’s award of reinstatement instead of front pay, the refusal to award expert witness fees, and the trial court’s dismissal of their claim for breach of implied contract. We affirm.
