Never ONE TIME has anyone suggested that we should simply waive the performance requirements for being a pilot.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, until the "goal" becomes a "quota" and John Q Qualified Pilot is overlooked for Adrianna Q Pilot with multiple checkride or training failures - for the sake of checking a box.
It's already happening in the rest of Corporate America. It doesn't work in Aviation. Outreach is absolutely not an issue. Selective hiring based on race/gender is.
