RAF told to ‘stop choosing useless white male pilots’, leak reveals

Leaked email emerges after claims service had been put under ‘intolerable pressure’ to hit diversity targets

The RAF instructed staff to stop choosing “useless white male pilots” for training courses in a leaked email seen by The Telegraph.     

In an email dated Jan 19, 2021, Squadron Leader Andrew Harwin, who worked in the Officer and Aircrew Selection Centre, discussed the boarding process where candidates are chosen to pursue certain training courses. He wrote: “I noted that the boards have recently been predominantly white male heavy. 

“If we don’t have enough BAME and female to board then we need to make the decision to pause boarding and seek more BAME and female from the RAF.

“I don’t really need to see loads of useless white male pilots, let’s get as focused as possible, I am more than happy to reduce boarding if needed to have a balanced BAME/female/male board.”

An RAF source told The Telegraph that the “email clearly demonstrates the endemic culture that was created by the senior leadership to chase ridiculous diversity statistics that were patently unachievable”.

“Useless”? This attitude is quite different than that expressed by Churchill in 1940 --

“Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.”
