I think most pilots come from the armed services. Maybe start there.

Kind of one of those industries where you don't want to push an equity agenda. Instead I would want the most qualified candidate to perform the job. None of the other stuff matters.

In the 1980’s, roughly two-thirds of airline pilots came from the military. Since then, the percentage is now one-third and, given the predicted shortage of military fliers, the pipeline of ex-military pilots will likely shrink further. https://www.armyandnavyacademy.org/blog ... -of-pilots

Who said anything about unqualified candidates? The required training weeds out the unqualified.

Thank you for the updated information about pilot development. My father was WWII glider pilot for Army Air Corps before there was the Air Force.
I would think that we fight more in the air now than on foot. How about less war as a good thought.

Anyway, thanks for the info. Does not La Tech teach pilot/aviation?

Again, thanks for the update.

So proud that Beach is one of us
