'A betrayal' White men who missed out on dream jobs with the RAF allege discrimination

10 months ago

Childhood dreams of becoming a pilot in the Royal Air Force ended in rejection for two white men in their 20s, who described a sluggish recruitment process of delays and disinterest. The mother of a third white male candidate recalled how her son tried his best to become a drone pilot, only to fail and apparently not receive a clear reason why. A career as a pilot is hugely competitive, with many more candidates than training slots.
The RAF says it recruits on merit and only selects the best, meaning a lot of highly competent applicants are rejected each year. However, an admission in June that the air force had discriminated against white male recruits in the two years to March 2021 - even though the 161 confirmed cases involved other ranks, not pilots - has left others wondering if they were victims of discrimination too.
