if anyone is truly interested in objective criteria to determine candidate suitability, the US government has already spent a fortune developing and implementing a test that will quickly and easily measure a candidate's aptitude for flight training. The TBAS is a significant part of the Air Force’s selection process for a reason: Washouts are costly. Shame the TBAS wasn’t available when Scott Kirby applied for Air Force pilot training, might have spared everyone the pain of washing him out.

For those wondering, Unlike politically correct social engineers in HR and corporate headquarters, the TBAS does not account for gender or ethnicity differences. Neither does the aircraft. It’s all fine and cute to go through a resume to find one’s volunteer activities and participation in the student body, but in the end someone has to actually land in gusty, white out, icy conditions.

Sure, there are many that would claim such tests are “racist“, or “sexist“. But I’m also sure they would be a little more selective if their family was on board that aircraft headed into Bozeman Montana at night in a snow storm.

I’m also quite certain these SJWs would consider the rand study equally “insensitive”.
