We’ve all seen the end of meritocracy in most professions. Even the armed forces. However, it seemed that thankfully, the airline industry wouldn’t go down this path, for obvious reasons. Pilots need to be pretty much perfect, with IQs through the roof.
If you’re up at 37,000 feet and all the engines fail, there is a good chance you can survive, albeit with a probable heavy landing, unless in the middle of the Pacific. But you need to react quickly, work out how far the nearest possible airport or landing spot is and the calculations needed for pitch, airspeed and approach. Where can you dump any fuel before landing (to avoid a huge fireball if you land too heavily?) All of this needs to done in minutes. High IQ, calmness under extreme pressure and great mathematical skills.
On top of that, in an emergency, can you (in seconds) work out and correct the issue? Can you land in poor weather conditions?
Well fuck all that.
Let’s shoehorn dark keys in and take our chances now. Diversity, innit?
By the way, if standards are the same then all’s good. However, I don’t think they’ll like seeing 90% of dark keys failing the tests, so I have my doubts.
One place you should not fuck about is up there.
Fantasy Wings?
Fucking perfect name.
