Then again, maybe not. Personally, I’ll trust my crew mates far more than I trust management.
Keep paying those premiums chumps.

It would have to be proven there is no evidence of sudden color vision loss.
Well if he’s still claiming and there is no “sudden” then it must have been there before.
It takes a lot to fail a color test. There’s the Ishihara then an alternate test or two then the lantern test.

Fwiw, my AME is a pilot.
