What Sky9 was trying to point out was that in the Saudia L1011 incident when the aircraft returned to land with a fire onboard. Some of the blame was placed on the American Flight Engineers dyslexia and his inability to read the proper checklists. There was also another major contributing factor which was the Captains religious attitude. (Unfortunately the havent started screening pilots for their religious beliefs just yet....)

But I think that i would be safe in saying that airlines have learned from this mistake which took the lives of around 300 people, they will not accept people with dsylexia.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.....
