It eternally boggles my mind that people get their feels hurt by genetic privilege. Some people have genetic median higher IQ. Some people have superior marathon running capabilities. Some have perfect pitch. Some can breath more effectively at high altitude. Dont like your genetic advantages and want different ones? Boofuckingwho. I'd like to be a fighter pilot, but muy genetics decided IQ was more valuable than being able to focus on far away objects. So I dont get to be a fighter pilot. Oh well. It's not rayciss like Marxists claim, it's merit.

True about vision rules, but in russia they permit carved corneas. In USA they used to ban pilots OVER 6 feet tall, but now they (US Naval pilot school) take pilots up to 6'5" (any height basically) and weight from 245 pounds or less and above 103 pounds :
From that page, it shows that a 6'5" pilot might be BANNED from all current aircraft jets though : [NAVAIRINST 3710.9C and OPNAVINST 3710.37A]
But the hidden ACTUAL limiter of Naval pilots is IQ (rigorous school testing) and that's raaaaayyyycist ! Also women complained about many requirements related to physical stamina, and requirements altered for females. The result? Female aircraft pilots crash into ocean over 400% more often than male pilots.

It's as if being able to remain conscious while pulling high g maneuvers is important or something
