I wonder what qualifications she has to lead such an institution...

From the Air Force Times article on her appointment, headlined "Bomber pilot picked to be the Air Force Academy's commandant of cadets":

Goodwin, who is also nominated for appointment to the rank of brigadier general, has been serving as the senior military assistant to the secretary of the Air Force in Washington, D.C.

She previously led the 2nd Bomb Wing at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, becoming the wing's first female commander. Before that, she served as the vice commander of the 509th Bomb Wing at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri.

Goodwin is a command pilot with almost 3,000 hours in the B-2, B-52, EC-130, C-130, T-38, T-1 and T-37. She graduated from the Air Force Academy in 1993.

Looking at here flying career. . .and no to insult anyone, but her her flight history indicates someone that is a terrible pilot.

In my experience, if a female graduates UPT and has moderate skills they will soften the requirements so they can place her in a fighter.

The fact that she flew crew aircraft when she would have been placed in a fighter if she had some skills, this means she needed supervision when flying. (The assignment system never waives fighter requirements for males).

Most females are rarely washed out during training, they have a Samsonite handle on their back and carried. Guys who graduate earn their wings and get no special treatment.

In my experience.
