To fly for-hire, you'll need the commerical certificate and a
second-class medical. Only the ATP ticket requires the first-class, and
most airlines will want you to have the ATP before considering you
(although there are TONS of aviation jobs that only require a commercial
cert).

i have version 20/30. If i have to wear to wear glasses to get the version
20/20. can i still be an airline pilot ? can airlines pilot wear glasses?


Yes, the only requirement is that your vision be correctable to 20/20.
Your medical certificate will indicate that you have to wear corrective
lenses while exercising its privileges.


I think you are referring to the FAA 1st class medical requirements.
The OP was asking about the airline's requirements.
