The fighter jock is a much higher caliber individual than the one we have at CX. I show up now and wonder who the heck these 'children' are that are wearing a uniform. Embarrassing...
Here we go again. Blaming the trainees for the system. Pathetic.
One BIG difference: in the military, the chop rate from selection to front line fighter jock is close to 80% (at least when I went thru the RAAF). In civvie world (ie, CX cadet training), it might be 20%.
At the moment the US Army rejects over 80% of all applicants, including applicants who apply to become Field Sanitation Specialist, or
janitors, in the civilian vernacular. Imagine that. An 80% rejection rate to become a US Army sh1t-shoveler. Why, the US Army Field Sanitation program is practically Ivy League.... LMAO.......
The US Army Aviation Center has a relatively low failure rate. That's because most of the candidates are screened
before they ever enter the program. If the US Army Aviation Center washed out 80% of its candidates, forget about the fact nearly the entire fleet of the US Army's 4000 aircraft would basically be permanently grounded, the cost of training personnel would be so cost prohibitive to be unsustainable. Most candidates are dropped before they ever enter the program. That's where the 80% comes from. I'm assuming that's where your number regarding the RAAF reference comes from. Unless of course the Australian taxpayer gladly forks over hundreds of millions to "chop" pilots from their program.
Your sloppy assumption, that somehow CX doesn't prescreen hundreds if not thousands of aspiring pilot applicants before they ever enter the CX program is simply wrong. You've simply made a sloppy assumption because you're not involved in the CX recruitment process and there's seems to be a raging fad for blaming children for a world they didn't create.
