Air Force tried an All Non White or Female pilot training class. It didn't go well.

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.


Also, some enterprising young JAG officer pointed out a potential flaw in the program:

The Air Force doubled down on efforts intended to improve diversity in the ranks in 2020 following the death of George Floyd, the Air Force Times reported. DOD identified a more extreme lack of racial and gender diversity among so-called “rated” officers, like pilots, who are most often promoted to top leadership positions.

Technically it’s the most legal thing you could ever do.

Actual racism is permissible in certain situations such as promoting equity.

DEI initiatives should be as far away from our military as possible but we live in a clown world so not surprising

No "potentially" about it.
Clear violation.

Having anything and intentionally keeping a specific race of people out on purpose is 100% against the law.

And wait, I’m fairly sure there is a word for that. You know, when you do not allow a race of people to do something or be allowed in somewhere

Your tax dollars at work. We don't need the modern equivalent of the Tuskegee airmen. We need the best qualified and trained pilots that can be found to populate the ranks of our air force.
The fact that you excluding white men from one or more training classes means that you are excluding some of the best possible pilots on a statistical basis.
Also the fact that we have a fully integrated force that trains and fights together is corroded by this exercise in wokeness.

Female pilot training class


Probably cancelled due to the number of jet parking accidents and scratched rims.

You guys ever wonder why the Ukrainians and Russians aren’t rushing women to the front lines?

When I was in the AF they worried and reprimanded about my hair length. Now I would be able to wear a dress.

Simple math:

DEI=equity>(standards+readiness)

Can we ever acknowledge that there are differences between certain backgrounds? We go through all of these charades to ignore the elephant in the room.

The Air Force is around 15% black. That's 70,000ish active duty personnel.

They don't move up the chain like whites because they aren't as good as their white counterparts.

Why don't the Pelicans have more white players?
