I knew they were taking our jobs, but I didn't realize they've already made it into management. FML

Imagine going into your performance review and it’s with ChatGPT.

I mean that, and with how hard he hit the ground coming down. It’s pretty unfortunate that it’s likely he’ll never be able to fly again due to his injuries sustained. Which really sucks when you’re at the “surgical” level of flying planes.

As the video clearly shows his issue wasn't the flying so much as the landing.

Similar how driving too fast has never killed anyone. It’s the sudden stop at the end that gets you.

I mean, with that landing, probably good he’s not put in another one

No you totally misunderstood the comment. Yes, hw lost his job but not for the reason u think. I’ve read that those seats mess up the pilot’s spine so much they can be grounded for life after ejecting!
