United terminates "disabled" pilot
Well he gets an A for effort.

No he doesn’t. He is trying to take advantage of all of us. The is claiming he became color blind…in 6 days. This is a BS claim IMHO. If he is successful expect lots of people getting hired just to take advantage of this necessary safety net that many pilots depend on. In my opinion he is taking advantage of our weakest pilots and putting all of us in a horrible position with a long term disability program that would become insolvent.

Scumbag.
He probably had an easy AME that pushed him through all these years and now retired or died. A Captain made a remark during a flight and he figured he’d get caught sooner or later. |

Maybe a sim instructor then, in any case he’s had a Private since ‘91 so not a young whippersnapper.

I asked my AME once since I've been doing the color blindness test for a lot of years if you could go color blind if you weren't born that way. His answer was very simple: no (excluding some kind of eye/head injury or eye disease).

If he looses the FAA could go after him if it’s proven he has been colorblind all along.

Sheesh. I sure as heck wouldn’t want a jury of my peers loaded with fellow pilots. Why is it judgement comes before facts, just like the self proclaimed experts on accidents and incidents before the fires are out? This guy may very well be trying to game the system. Then again, maybe not. Personally, I’ll trust my crew mates far more than I trust management.
