So..... basically Fester cheats like the rest of them? 
I don't mind hazing from being gamey on a light hearted fluff achievement but this crosses the line.
I have played this game since 1999 and never cheated.
My reasons for knocking out the bail out achievement were for my own benefit as the achievement was negatively affecting my gameplay experience due to the fact that it was giving me reason to bail out any time I was bored and couldn't find a fight when previously I would religiously land any sortie on general principle.
I have held the view that achievements are non score based and non competition based and are for the players personal enjoyment to be completed in the manner they find most enjoyable. given the negative feedback from the self righteous holy rollers with axes to grind giving me crap about bailing out a lot for nerd points I will refrain from using any world of warcraft methodology (grinding till its done) towards completing any of the general fluff achievements and the ones I don't like I will just skip.
lets be honest with ourselves about what achievements are and how they are helping add variety to the game in spite of some flaws the overall effect and experience has been positive for everyone. Myself included. It is a nonscore based reason for completionists to play the game a lot and to play all areas of the game.
they are highly addictive and very fun to work on and complete.
I probably would not even be logging into the game without the achievement system as it has made the game enjoyable for me.
It has motivated me to fly and fight in every single airplane and vehicle in this game.
For the first time in years I and many others are frequently flying bombers. People are upping from vulched fields giving vulchers easy kills just to get the little "completed" checkmark on their nerd points. the list goes on.
the flawed achievements that are not really enjoyable tend to favor players wanting to knock them out quickly such as the rocket achievements where you see m4's lobbing rockets nonstop at nearby vfields. but somehow I like seeing the rockets being fired in spite of the motivation as it adds to the games atmosphere in some historic way.
the bail out achievement is flawed on multiple levels as it has a negative impact on gameplay in my opinion. personally I think it should be removed from the game or redone with the new condition of "bail out of a crippled airplane"
