Weak.

Yeager by all accounts is not a guy I would want to share a cockpit with. Nor a guy I would want in my union.

Wait a sec... are looking for a peer reviewed, published work on the definition of “anecdotal”?

Met Yeager when I was a kid. Even at 8 years old, I could tell he was a bit of an a$$. That opinion was shared by every adult male who had invited him to be at Miramar’s Air Show that year.

Run back to your Alma mater. I’m sure they have a safe space for you and your emotional support animal.

Way off topic i guess, but the Yeager thing is pretty widely known. Has nothing to do with whether he has a degree though. My primary flight instructor was a young test pilot command guy when Yeager was there. They dreaded working with him. The axiom "small egos are rare in aviation" definitely applied in that case evidently. Again, absence or presence of a college degree (or a Masters in the TPC world) would not have anything to do with that situation.

That the guy could "fly the box the airplane came in" was never in doubt, but guys like Hoover, Crossfield, Gus Grissom, Pete Knight, et. all could do the plan, do the math, do the post flight analysis and communicate it in an Engineering vocabulary to the technical staff. That's the job. Different world.

I believe it’s been discussed before on these forums that the flow terms and conditions can be changed by American at any time. Or just completely canceled for that matter. Right now I think it’s around 10 years to flow and a lot can happen in that time.
