Well, they can just recruit more Hindu and Arab pilots like the commercial airlines are doing...

Reason given:
“The reality is that last year’s reduction in the pilot shortfall was at least partially attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in commercial airline furloughs, reduced hiring and a weakened overall job market, including for Air Force pilots looking to transition to a variety of civilian jobs. That undoubtedly incentivized some pilots to remain in the service. But those dynamics are already changing.”
Race not a factor except in the race baiting article posted. The word “Unexpected” is also not used originally.
Of course they are. They just think if they don't admit it, it won't be true, which is typical social progressive "thinking". The real difficulty is that both politicians and command who are behind this don't love their country, think it's systemically evil, and want to change it by force, which their privileged positions are allowing them to do. Note the vehemence with which Kelisa Wing denied she has that power while vigorously exercising it. This is not cognitive dissonance, it's simply lying.
The administrations desired outcome is to establish precedent that the US can’t attain qualified (branch name) enlistments, thereby setting the stage for UN “assistance”. Just my thoughts.
How many dem white boys is too many? LOL
Ping.
Who is the #1 object of their hatred? Straight White Males - and among them most especially Southerners.
Where does the US military get 50% of its recruits? The South.
I am SHOCKED to hear they can’t meet their recruitment goals anymore. Gee, who would have guessed?
Drones.
So, you have 80 white pilots and 20 others. 38 white pilots leave so now you have 67.7% of the pilots being white. Problem solved. The problem is you only have 62 pilots.
I bet the problem is worse if you include gender goals.
It can easily recruit pilots among the many Chinese spies graduating from American universities.
How do you teach someone with an IQ of 85 to fly a very complex aircraft????????????
Democrat presidents since Truman have purged the military of field experienced officers. Biden’s administration is the first to purge the military from generals down to recruits. The single most devastating purge is getting rid of the southern boys and dissuading southerners from enlisting. Black and white, they have been the war fighting backbone of the military since the beginning. The military is being reduced to undeployable trannies and homosexual techies who can operate drones from way back of the fight and women who cannot carry the load on the field that their male counterparts do and who break more easily.
Now they have embraced the approach of a corporate HR department and have focussed on diversity and inclusion. They went from "race and sex don't matter" to "race and sex are the only thing that matters". Has this made them better? I'll let you all decide. But I will leave you with one recent image that most people seem to have simply forgotten about.
Quota system for USAF pilots.
Wonderful.
What’s that old saying?
“Garbage in, garbage out”.
Paint them other colors.
You simply could not pay me enough to stay and be subjected to the abuse they dish out. I’d take any legal path to leaving the af. Nothing is worth that degree of ridicule for what is a very very tough job.
