I am not sure fighters bailing is a cancer in the game so much as a symptom of some players/squads where score is more important than game play. Bailing is just another form of running from a 1v1, sometimes a full sector to your base ack. They have become experts at avoiding confrontation when they are anywhere near an equal E state. It's funny (not really) how you hardly ever find those types of players in anything but the fastest of planes (Pee-51's, Tempests and Run-90's).
It's their dime, but to spend their entire existence hiding in a corner waiting to pounce instead of mixing it up confounds me. The nice thing is, when you do catch them where they are forced to fight, they are easy kills. They don't have the skills, not enough practice.
