But the term "equal opportunity" is just as I stated, a moving target, subject to change and not always a factual statement. Whether its a formal/published requirement, or and informal/non published competitive qualification.
If anybody is at a disadvantage, it's military helicopter pilots. If they made it through those qualifications/training/filters, combined with the fixed wing training they got, there's NO reason why theyre rotor time SHOULDN'T count. But that's JMO. Can't wait for the flaming ill receive for making such an outrageous statement.
"It is what is" as they say.........
I guess we disagree. My view is that all are free to enlist and pursue a position in the military as a pilot. That is the equal opportunity. Some medical requirements prevent some applicants from being successful. That is true in the civilian world too. So what?
