Most people overlook the real problem. If she cannot pass the test now while she is young and at the peak of her physical powers, what will she be like when she hits 40 and has gained a few pounds and lost some youth?

The answer is she will be hiding somewhere in an administrative job on light duty and earning Firefighters pay.

I have seen it.

I remember a woman who failed the training school where I worked as Firefighter, she went to court against the Chief and Captain at the school, she got a do-over and the Chief and captain got a transfer. Their replacements saw the handwriting on the wall and passed her, she graduated.

She was useless in the Company she went to, and created multiple problems, after a couple of years, one day she went on sick leave. The Firefighters stopped at a local Safeway to get groceries , and she was there working a part time job as register clerk while on sick leave from the Fire Department. This time she got fired.

That very mindset is why a few managers I know won’t hire women (for clerial office work); rather than tiptoe around them, they’re willing to hire less-qualified Hispanic guys and will train them.
