I remember now why I stopped bothering with this forum!
As I said before no issues with the guy flying my family! I would argue he is actually a better and safer pilot for his disability! Having had to prove himself and overcome uneducated bigots in the industry!
I find it incredible to find myself saying, thank goodness the CAA is an enlightened regulator. Some on this forum could actually learn something from them!
Every single flight ever operated comes with risk! Risk management is what we are paid to do! Who are you going to say is increasing the risks to flight safety next? The 60plus pilot who is long in the tooth and should call it a day? The young pilot who is more gung-ho, but lacks the experience/attitude to risks?
Or shall we single people out that are ethnic minorities or homosexuals?
The CAA IN MORE THAN ONE COUNTRY HAVE ISSUED A MEDICAL TO SAY HE IS FIT TO FLY!!!!
MORE THAN ONE airline employs disabled pilots!
Let's be honest more fatalities are associated with mental health issues or fatigue than the failure of an artificial limb!!!
