I’ve been flying for about 45 years. Not commercial and just single engine taildragger. Given that in all types of flying there are a great many things to know, and know by heart. I don’t care if you are black white brown or green with purple spots. That is irrelevant and not a reason to hire someone or not. What matters is that you flat out know your stuff, and have the ability to make precise decisions very rapidly under extreme pressure. Ability is the only thing that should put a person in the cockpit. Ability and judgement is what keeps you and everyone in the aircraft alive.
