if you are a lot crosseyed you cant be a pilot what what if just a litle?
 

i was planning long ago to become a ship pilot planning to have lasik for my shortsightedness

but im slightly crooseyed

1st question: why a crosseyed person cant be a pilot if both eyes are functional?

if this is an issue why they dont measure to detect slight crosseyed people like me?

actually being slightly cross eye is a beauty thing imho :)

i think natures beauty is that touch of imperfection

check on the other hand how ugly are these perfect eyes:

i think the only resaon crosseyed pilots are not allowed is it looks bad

many crosseyed people have perfect sight

It's about evolution as far as I am concerned.
I still cant believe future parents refuse to have their foetus checked for down syndrome and the like - even though today it involves 0 risk(Praena test f.i.).
Humanity lacks a predator...

:evil:

raaaid, did you ever heard the word "photoshoped"?

If no, it means that pictures were modified.
In this case to make people look more attractive by deleting of wrinkles, morphing bodys and so on.

Your last pic is definitly photoshoped, look into those totally white eyeballs with no blood vessels and overlighted face.

well now evolution for man has changed to the fittest to the most atractive

the real danger of evolution are people getting chips in the head

wealthiest maybe

hearing that from a specialist like u....

What about if you have just one eye ?

also if 3d perception is so important for a pilot

heehem weve been flying for years in a FLAT screen

and it gets to ridiculous extents did you know even an engineer oficial in a ship must have two functional eyes?

I rarely miss the chance to take a swing at a slow ball but the above comment is more like tee-ball!! I must pass on the opportunity. Maybe a youngster will come along and take a swing.


I can think of several reasons for that.

''This is your captain speaking...''

i wonder if this is for real?

Well, I do know of a certain pilot that got 31 out of his 34 victories after he lost sight of one of his eyes... and that's probably not the only case.

actually this thought comes from this airline pilot taking venus by an upcoming plane

Strabismus is the symptom's name.
There is a 20-40min surgery/procedure to fix the "problem".
