Very few professional airline pilots are blind too.

Funny you should mention that. Michael Savage suggested(sarcastically, of course) some weeks ago that it wasn’t fair that blind people were not legally allowed to fly and should sue for discrimination.

I once had to design a website to be used by government mechanics to get info to trouble shoot their machinery, which include motors, belts, pulleys, and lots of dangerous high voltage.

The government representative told me that the website had to usable by blind people. I said "but there's no way a blind person can be a repair mechanic for the machinery." He countered with "maybe if more tools for the blind were available, a blind person could be a mechanic."

I didn't even get want to point out that the machinery primarly used LIGHTS of different colors to indicate its state, and whether the high voltage system was charged or not.
