Way back in the day there used to a game called Tracon, which was an air traffic control simulator. I played it a few tells and from those experiences I knew that ATC was never going to be a path for me. I caused so many midair collisions.
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.
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.

How male-dominated is that profession, anyway?
Very. The quick search I did indicated that 70.7% to potentially 97% of pilots are men.
Please at let be the ones that are the hardcore MS flight sim nerds, they do have many who take it super serious at least.
The recruitment video from April showed scenes from games including Fortnite and an American football title, and proclaimed: “You’ve been training for this…”
teabagging their coworker/teammates that they just betrayed for the lols
“and they pay me for this shit lmao FUCK YOU MOM I TOLD YOU MY SKILLS WOULD PAY OFF”

“this is your captain, brb nerds, going afk”
You just reassured me, 100% without copyright infringements to boot!
Bunch of air traffic controllers blaming their teammates for EVERY crash incoming
“You were supposed to cover me, wtf and you call yourself prestige 8 on cod? I’ve seen bots smarter than you.”
Leroooooooy Jenkins!!
I can take off planes on MS Flight Sim by the way, but I could never land without crashing it.
“hello ladies and gentlemen I am the spiffing brit and welcome to LAX Air Traffic control”
