Title: Air traffic controllers can apply for job in Braille Post by: Chris from Nailsea on July 10, 2008, 23:00:21 Hmmm. I'm only posting this as I think it's an interesting story: please make of it what you will. ::)
It is a job where one wrong move can mean the loss of dozens of lives. And ^ apart from nerves of steel ^ you would think that an air traffic controller would also need perfect 20-20 vision. But not on the Scilly Isles, where a position has just been advertised with a job application form also available in Braille. The airport on St Mary's is owned and operated by the Council of the Isles of Scilly, who insist they are simply following equal opportunities procedures. But many say it is absurd and a symptom of political correctness gone mad.
