> Eject and lose your career means more pilots will crash.
Maybe, maybe not. But I do expect that if another pilot finds himself in Del Pizzo's situation, they're going to do a more thorough survey of the plane's capabilities before ejecting. Maybe that's the outcome the Marines is looking for, even if it puts their pilots at risk more often.
You have no real reason to believe that, you are pulling the reasons out of your rear. Read the reports, literally the investigations themselves concluded that most pilots would have ejected and that there was no misconduct.
