Aflying instructor is suing the Ministry of Defence for race discrimination over a Royal Air Force recruitment policy that gave priority to female and ethnic minority recruits over white men.
The experienced military pilot initially thought the decision to reject him was “strange” but started to suspect he had been discriminated against when news broke of the force’s controversial recruitment policy.
The tribunal heard that in August 2022, the RAF’s head of recruitment, Group Captain Lizzy Nicholl, resigned “in protest at a recruitment policy to give priority to female and ethnic minority recruits over white men”.
It was heard she complained of “bullying” by those who tried to make her implement it.
No offense but the RAF has always been a festering bed of discrimination. It used to be on class which this guy probably benefited from. Now its moved on.
