It never happened in the time I ran training squadrons and would not have. Either the trainees achieve the standard or they are chopped. Ethnicity and gender were not even considered by the review board. There was one occasion when we had an unusually high failure rate and there was an enquiry to find out why, but nobody suggested pushing them through.
