The application requirements for Western Airlines pilot positions require candidates to have logged at least 200 hours piloting an aircraft within the previous 36 months. In addition, applicants must have 2,500 hours of experience in the air with at least 1,000 hours as the commanding pilot of a commercial airplane. A four-year college degree is also required. Jeff Sanchez, who is Hispanic, applied for a position as a pilot and was rejected because he has a degree from a 2-year college and only 2,000 hours of flight experience. Jeff is suing Western Airlines for discriminatory hiring practices.

Which of the following, if true, best supports Western Airlines' defense?
A) Western Airlines bases its selection tests and hiring practices on industry guidelines for commercial pilots.
B) The total number of hours spent flying a commercial airline is a valid predictor of performance for most Western Airlines pilots.
C) Recent experiences with college recruiting have led Western Airlines to increase the percentage of its minority pilots.
D) At Western Airlines, turnover is high among minority employees working as pilots and flight attendants.
