Just like Tomorrow's World said our cars would all fly by now
The thing is that it shouldn't be us who has to change. The standard of colour vision required by JAA is utterly unrepresentative of that required in order for a professional pilot to safely do his job. According to both UK and EU law, the current regulations are at best discriminatory and at worst downright illegal. Some of us have already taken legal advice on the subject, the general response being prolonged open-mouths or, "WHAT?!".
There are 2 possible routes out of the currently untenable situation:
1. The regulators seeing sense
2. Litigation
Whilst I would like to think that the former will prevail I suspect the latter will be inevitable.
