So I read in the papers that St. Mary's airport on the Scilly Isles has been advertising for a new air traffic controller. Nothing unusual about that you may think. However following equal opportunity guidelines response to the advert can be received in Braille.
Now I can think of numerous jobs where blind and partially sighted people would have no problem undertaking (we already have blind politicians and sportsmen/ women), but if I'm flying the crowded skies of Southern England (or even the sparse skies over the Scilly Isles), I would like to think that the person operating the radar could at least see it!
A spokesman for the Council of the Isles of Scilly, which runs the airport, said the alternative formats were offered on all job adverts.
