During a 2024 conversation, a flight instructor described unusual steps managers had taken to salvage the career of a young female trainee pilot. The instructor described an “egregious” example of the apparent relaxing of standards to meet diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) goals, the captain said.
The trainee repeatedly failed rudimentary pilot training tests. By “crashing” a computer simulation flight, she proved her inability to operate an airplane’s three most basic control mechanisms, the instructor said.
Yet management balked when the instructor failed her.

I don't care who is on the other side of the cockpit door as long as they are fully qualified to fly the plane; anything less than qualified is an unnecessary safety risk.

I'll need a lot more information here. Crashing a simulator is not all that uncommon for even experienced pilots. She was good enough to be accepted into the training, so what has been her in-flight performance? Frankly this DEI BS has gone too far and is being used to support bigots agendas IMO. By the standards of our SECDEF even Lt Col Charlie Brown would be classified a DEI placement. Just in the last day or two for the first time in history, the Florida Board of Governors rejected the individual selected by educators from a nationwide search to be the next University of Florida President because of his past opinions on DEI.
