Well, I guess Ryanair will now start charging you £20 extra if you have a pilot with two arms ...... :lol:

But on a serious note I agree with Ossie; imagine if this had happened in an emergency? Doesn't bear thinking about really....

:shock: I know!!!! It does seem to be taking Equal Opportunities rights a bit too far. What about the rights of the passengers to have a pilot with both limbs :shock: :roll: :lol: :lol:

According to one report I heard, I think it was the BBC local news, apparently there's at least 4 of them up there flying around Britain with only one arm.

And then there's those that are flying with only one leg ........ :shock:

All I can say is you'll never get at Ostrich up in one of they things ..... :?

Yep, there're apparently more legless pilots that armless ones!
