I wasn't trying to insult the people who didn't get selected - it was just a general observation. As you say, it could also be down to luck, but it would certainly not be the main deciding factor.

Of course it was down to luck. This was only about getting rid of some people. Its the only way to make it, and its understandable. If it was not a matter of luck, a lot more people would have been selected, or are you saying that 170 people didn't finish all the tests. Of course they did, and im sure it all came down to the words they used in the CV, and probably the font they chose.
It's acceptable that they conducted it this way, otherwise the selection process would have cost them more time than the actual training! imagin having to interview 6000 people. Another thought is... i fly already right? and i've had one emergency so far, landing gear not coming out. Now THAT was pressure, and im here, am i not. The last thing i would have needed to do in that particular moments is math exersices. Or is it like, OH GOD, THE LANDING GEAR IS STUCK, QUICKLY, HOW MUCH IS 2378 times 1/23!
There are better ways to assess people, they are just not viable. So as far as i know, they could have chosen any imaginable way of getting rid of people. At the end of the day, it's their game.
