I mean, I figure even if they all were ‘act of god’ type accidents that’s the amount of bad luck where you really should start giving it weight. I’m reminded of how the guy who set the record for most lightning strikes survived got really paranoid about clouds later in life.
If that’s true, that’s wild. Those seats are insane, it’s amazing people can survive them.
Can’t vouch for it but I’ve read you only get 3 ejections before you’re medically discharged because it compresses your spine pretty badly
I can’t imagine they’d want to keep the guy who crashed three planes either.
That’s why you throw away half of the resumes from applicants. You don’t want to hire unlucky people.

Yea the medical discharge might just be the excuse to get rid of the pilot that burned half a billion in crashed planes and recovery efforts for them
