When I first saw the footage, I thought that more than zero crew members ejected into the other jet’s fuselage. I’m really happy to hear that all crew members are safe.

So do they get fired?

Because my uncharitable, non-air force ass feels like this is the kind of screw up that should get someone fired...

So the chain of command above them that ordered them to perform at a show with low density / high cost aircraft should face sanctions?

Because those are the folks who need to be punished, not the pilots ordered to perform a show.

What are you talking about ? They all got fired ... right out of the cockpits.
