Although, air traffic controllers are persons with the best vision in the world – 20/20 in the ophthalmologist’s parlance but St Mary’s airport authority does not want the visually challenged people to miss the opportunity of the career of the air traffic controller. Strictly adhering to the concept of equal opportunity, they have offered the application forms in both Braille and audio format. What form of equal opportunities is it to offer jobs to people whom the job guidelines deny entry?
