I’ll pile on. John Perrys was one of my T-37 instructors in pilot training. He was a fine pilot. Fast forward to his time when he was a student learning to fly the F-15. He didn’t have what it took to make it through the program. That’s okay, not everyone makes it. What’s not okay is how he handled it. He stole his training record and lied about. He also lied about other things during training. He must have forgotten about the “safety observer” in the back seat during his last flight. I don’t know what his mental state was.
This is absurd. JetBlue either got duped by his lies again or they have made a horrendous decision to let him fly their planes. Get him out.
