What if this were survivor bias, and those who can't function at such an early time wash out in training? It's a possibility!

Do you want someone controlling your plane who can't handle waking up early? Air traffic control is 24 hours a day 7 days week; you will be working at all hours of the day.

The hour at which you wake up has (unless proven otherwise) no incidence on your quality as a person, professionnal or personal.

I would rather have someone who has no problem staying up late rather than someone who is a 'morning person'. Once awake, night owls seems to be better at staying awake.

No, I don't. I want outliers, people who have extraordinary ability to function at all times of the day.

I want the 20% exceptions that make it, not the 80% average folks who drop out.

That's not what he's saying.
