It is sad for them, isn't it, that we have to wonder?? In a meritocracy, we would not have to wonder or doubt that they were best qualified!
Speaking of qualified:
It is not enough to be trained to be a "bus driver" -- another name for routine pilot.
A MILITARY pilot, such as one who is trusted to evacuate POTUS such as in this training mission, has to also have character qualifications: intrepidity, calmness in crisis, etc. [Think Sully who brought his plane down in the Hudson . . . almost beyond ordinary comprehension that he was able to do that.]
Before affirmative action and diversity goals, there were pilot errors.
Too bad though, that now we have to WONDER if the best are selected . . .
It is too bad we have to wonder. All three of the commercial pilots I know received their training in the military, so I dont know what kind of training is given for most airline pilots but I have seen some pretty bad videos of DEI hired pilots, definitely not the best of the best!
