None of that is relevant to this “study”.
The fact that they mention “severe pilot shortage” in the conclusion ensures it’s a farce. No neuroscientist conducting a legitimate study would do that. In addition, they didn’t study anyone over 64 and compared them to “office workers” with no baseline for either group. This is hilarious! Sample size was a whopping 31 people (Lepfers?).
And to your point above, if they are having trouble finding pilots to hire maybe they could start by paying them better.
