Question

Allie is a licensed pilot who is nearsighted. She has 20/20 (perfect) vision when she wears her contact lenses. Without her contact lenses, she cannot read or drive, but with her contact lenses, she is able to engage in these activities. Acme Airlines has a requirement that its pilots have 20/20 uncorrected vision. Allie applies for a pilot position with Acme, and is rejected based on her need to wear contact lenses. Allie goes to the EEOC to file a charge under the ADA against Acme Airlines. What is the likely result?

Explanation / Answer

Allie will loose the case. The prequalifications for the Pilot were clearly mentioned by Acme Airlines in the job reqt. Also as Allie can't read or drive wout contact lenses, she will be putting the lives of her passengers in danger if something goes wrong with her contact lenses while at the control of the airplane.
