If it’s good enough for the FAA
Then it should be good enough for the airlines. Who is going to be the first to represent?
"The FAA actively recruits, hires, promotes, retains, develops and advances people with disabilities.
The FAA meets the goals of the PWD Program through a variety of practices:
Targeted Disabilities
Targeted disabilities are those disabilities that the Federal government, as a matter of policy, has identified for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring. They include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism."

What are you attempting to suggest? HR practices for adminstrative positions should influence medical standards? Affirmative-action hiring practices in government administrative hiring should be assumed by commercial operators? In what capacity?
The FAA also has a standing requirement for inspectors: a maximum of two aircraft accidents in the last two years for which the applicant was the cause.
Should airlines adopt this policy too?

The FAA will consider applicants with far more accidents or mishaps on their record, but only two to which they contributed.

The timing of this couldn't have been worse. The optics of coming out with this right after the Alaska incident, literally you could count it in hours.
Anyone with any sense of the presence of the world outside their tiny cubical would have known to hold off on making this announcement until after the dust settles a bit on Boeing hiring complete idiots to put on doors that aren't doors and forgetting the bolts. And then going completely off the rails and not checking the 3rd party work before slapping a pass sticker on it and yelling "SEND IT".
You'd think the FAA would be pushing the idea to the public that safety was the number one priority instead of who can we move to the front of the line to hire based on how broken they are. But NOooooo lets ignore all that safety of the public for literally this.
But what do I know. I'm an idiot. I think only women can have babies.
