Sorry to hear this. From what I heard this is because of that FedEx 727 crash that occurred in Tallahassee a few years back. The F/O was landing the plane under the Captains supervision. The F/O turns out to be color-blind, but is granted a medical since he had flight experience from the Navy.

The FAA has now changed the rules on color vision impairments partly because of this accident.
