The point is, it's correctable and therefore not a disability. However the FAA has the right to reject pilots whose vision cannot be corrected to 20/20 and that always has been the rule. The pilot whose vision would not be correctable to 20/20 would be a danger to the crew and passengers and therefore not subject to rights under the ADA. My dad told me he had to have 20/20 vision without glasses as a bomber pilot in the USAF.

That means that if they have contacts or glasses that can correct it to that point, it is okay. ----- Original Message ----- From: "BG Greer, PhD" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 12:41 AM Subject: Re: Supreme Court Decision Affecting ADA Rights > In a message dated 6/10/02 6:58:49 PM, [log in to unmask] writes: > > >What about the sighted airline pilots whose vision was corrected with > >glasses? > > So.... what about it???? > > Bobby > >
