From American's website:

Note the reference to "team members in 65 countries." If you were in that photo, Airbubba, you would be one of the "folks who are different," as would any of us, because we are all different, in various ways.

I'd like to add my request for evidence that American, for instance, adjusts hiring standards due to the "differences" to which you refer. I'm pretty sure that doesn't happen and I'm virtually certain it doesn't happen for, e.g., A&P mechs, avionics techs, flight crew members, etc.
