Old ACSC paper from a Deuce driver regarding the ejection decision, aftermath, stigma, consequences, etc. Good read. Ejection.pdf

I don't know, based on the incredibly exciting and not-at-all-dry-and-boring 6-9 hour contractor CRM brief every year, apparently it is.

I feel like when I first joined the air force 6 years ago we were having the same discussions about the F-22. Now we aren't. Even flown with one at a Red Flag? The bros at Edwards, Nellis, and Eglin will make the F-35 a great airplane. We will develop tactics to exploit its advantages and avoid its weaknesses as best we can. Maybe I'm mainlining koolaid but the US has gone all in on this airplane and I can't imagine we will accept a POS. In 3 or 4 years, I'm confident we'll have an impressive jet starting to show up in reasonable numbers.

FIFY.

Lets say on a decent day any given dude has 90% SA on everything going on in the AO. Average a crew of two's SA level and you get 81% SA. I don't know about you, but I'd rather be one man with 90% SA than two with 81%, or even worse, 4 with 66%! SA = Directly correlated with performance. Math, you just can't argue with it.
