    Being good at some computer games (not just flight simulators) is helpful in getting through the recruitment process. I’d say a mix of having good orientation and implementing and executing a strategy is required at the very least (and sticking to it, which I didn’t do lol), which you definitely get/practice in games.

    However the actual training process can cut those numbers dramatically, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they ignored obvious red flags with some of these ‘gamers’ just to pump those numbers up.

    I’m glad I don’t know more about aviation and human nature so I don’t have to worry about this as much as it probably warrants.

    People who are used to not facing real consequences, directing 200-ton metal tubes full of humans through the air above us?

    Probably fine.

    I can take off planes on MS Flight Sim by the way, but I could never land without crashing it.

    I found a glitch. When you crash a few planes on the other runways, all the traffic has to go over a single one. Still the same traffic and points but way easier to manage
