From the THIS COUNTRY IS CRAZY Dept:

On October 20, 1997, the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated a
lawsuit against
Aloha Island Air for refusing to hire a pilot who is blind in one eye. Last
Friday, the Hawaii Civil Rights Commission awarded the pilot, Bruce Pied, an
eye-popping (groan...) $1.4 million in compensatory and punitive damages,
and ordered the small airline to hire Pied. Aloha Island Air will appeal the
ruling in state circuit court. Pied has an FAA waiver that allows him to fly
one-eyed and currently pilots 747s for a cargo company.

Aside: In this day and age, $1.4 million may be a small
price for the airline to pay. If the guy crashed a plane, EVEN if it wasn't
because of his hindered eyesight, the lawyers would clean out the airline
for negligent hiring practices.
