I suppose they could run 10,000 chimps through and get one potential F/O,
Not just FO's... Chimps make excellent Captains as well. The good news is, they will always take the fruit plate, and you'll get the omelette. And since they can't read, they don't mind if you do.
They can be a handful on layovers, though. And they throw poo at you if they don't like your technique.
