Ever wonder why some pilots are allowed to fly after multiple training issues? Or, why some pilots are hired even after they’ve failed multiple check rides?
Why pilots with perfect records were bypassed for hiring and those with significant deficits were hired in a safety sensitive profession?
The above are just three examples, but I think it is reasonable to question what has driven the hiring of airline pilots in the past.
Subjectively, a pilots training record is the number 1 correlation to determine the success of that pilot in the future. It’s a more significant correlate than criminality and DUI.
I noticed that you didn’t provide any actual statistical data to backup your previous claim but instead cherry picked a few accidents to support your bogus theory. Fact of the matter is, I could list hoards of accidents involving flight crews that looked good on paper and yet they still managed to put an airplane into the ground.
No race or gender has a monopoly on flight safety. No race or gender is inherently unsafe. We’ve all had our share of bad apples.
