The U.S. Air Force abandoned an experiment aimed at boosting pilot training graduation rates for women and minority pilots after the 2021 initiative failed to achieve the intended results and officers privately warned it could violate anti-discrimination policies, according to documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

As part of the larger military-wide effort to promote diversity in the service’s pilot ranks, the 19th Air Force command near San Antonio, Texas, “clustered” racial minorities and female trainees into one class, dubbed “America’s Class,” to find out if doing so would improve the pilots’ graduation rates. However, not only did the effort fail to boost minority and women candidates’ success rates, but officers involved say they were ordered to engage in potentially unlawful discrimination by excluding white males from the class, documents show.

Unlawful or not, the Air Force’s actions raised red flags for an active-duty pilot instructor who spoke to the DCNF.

“When other priorities, like gender or race, are introduced as a metric of assignment and advancement, the foundations of performance-based competition are sacrificed and the emphasis on safety takes a backseat,” a current Air Force instructor pilot and former trainer for Undergraduate Pilot Training, who spoke on a condition of anonymity due to fear of reprisal, told the DCNF.

A lot of the traditional white male pilots already have their private pilot's license when they join the service. Either their families were rich enough to pay for pilot training (many thousands of dollars), or they washed planes for older, wealthier pilots to buy flight hours. A young, Black male probably will not even be allowed through the gate. A young woman, white or black, would be expected to utilize the technique demonstrates in COOL HAND KUKE to wash the windows while the owner is sitting in the plane.

A little bit of affirmative action to enable minority or women candidates who have the aptitude and dedication to succeed is not necessarily a bad thing. Chuck Yeager was a mustang with no college education or previous flight experience. However; imposing quotas is a bad thing.
 
Yes, you demonstrate the you hate black people all the time. Keep it up
 
In other words, it's exactly what you'd expect when a right-wing organization tries its hand at affirmative action. Nothing more, nothing less.
 
Any and all professions and jobs should be filled by the most qualified, trained and experienced personnel. Injecting any other criteria is both a waste of time and counter productive.

That should be universal in our society but especially so in our military.

That's a great goal to strive for once we've ensured everyone has a reasonably equal shot at getting the training and experience.

Besides, the real problem here isn't that they had this program, it's in the execution of it, which sounds exactly like what you'd expect from an opponent of affirmative action who was forced to participate in it and wanted to see that effort fail.
