Sifting the internetz and found this:

I don’t know if its related but my husband works for Qantas and over the weekend all pilots and flight crew were given an eye patch. no explanation except the federal government issues them lol a single eye patch each. My husband joked that maybe they’re air pirates now but no one really gets the point.

My guess is that they are NOT, I repeat NOT trying to make pirates out of the pilots, but they are doing one of two things.  Eye strengthening exercises or they are preparing them to weather a nuke blast and light flash so they can still get the bird on the ground with a single unaffected eye after removing a patch. 

Juiciest tidbit I have seen in a while.
