Alanga 1991 you have misread my original comment. Of course, the right people are chosen, I don't doubt that. My frustration is my unawareness of where I am going wrong. I have invested a lot of funds to pay for things like a PPL etc. Also who are you to say I have some high paying job in the city, its a turn of phrase...
I fully support D&I, but with the RAF's recent scandal of recruiting 'too many useless white males' you can see my point about the issue of having it promoted too much - it should be based on merit with backgrounds taken into consideration.
