Spirit Airlines has hammered yet another nail into the coffin of ableism by hiring the world's first blind commercial airline pilot. Flight 2047 from Orlando to Saint Louis is set to be the first vision-impaired flight. The co-pilot will reportedly wear a blindfold for the duration of the flight out of solidarity with its blind captain. Yeah, Liberal Democrats and diversity! I'm glad I'm not on that flight!

Moderator's Note: You may have fallen for a spoof from the Babylon Bee, a Christian satirical journal. The pilot named Bartimaeus, a biblical figure healed from blindness, is the hero of this spoof. Maybe you were just hoping to catch the moderator in a trap. Thanks for the smile.
