Aren't they protected under the ADA, especially if they hold a First Class Medical with a S.O.D.A ?

Unscientifically, I bet the number of Color Blind pilots (at the Legacies anyway ) is approx. ZERO (?)

Nope. 10% of all males have some degree of color deficiency and that includes many flying for the majors. And the ADA was specifically amended after Sutton vs UAL to preclude airlines setting their own physical standards higher than required by the FAA.

In fact, they can't even do a company physical on you until AFTER they hire you. Nor can they legally even ask you if you have a SODA.
