My father was an airline pilot, but he had alot of clogging in his arteries, so he had to get triple bypass surgery.

Because of one tiny little vein that is still clogged but so inconsequential that the doctors did nothing about it, he cannot fly. The FAA took away his license and he had to get a new job as a realtor. Whatever, right?

Yeah, now they are allowing people with LEG DISABILITIES to fly aeroplanes, but my father cannot.
People with no legs
Paraplegics
Polio damaged legs
Whatever

How do they get to fly aeroplanes when they can only fly planes with no foot pedals but my perfectly healthy father cannot fly any sort of plane because of one tiny little vein?

I don't know if this belongs here but its not right. Not right at all.

You can fly a plane with no legs.

You can't fly a plane without a heart.

I think that the company is scared he might have a heart attack and keel over or something in the middle of a flight. The people with no legs would not have this problem.

(you can't fly a plane without heart *tear*)

Flying an airplane only increases the risk of a heart attack as well
