The good news is...

These are the two pilots Brandon Wells and Evan Rose.  it was in the link you posted, now you know Who, not Why?

Must have been an update to the article. Yeah, I got the names firsthand at work after this posting, but didn't want to be the one to put it out to the world. Rose was on BI-4103, so it was only his third flight in the jet. We still haven't received word on the why though.

I read somewhere that there is an unwritten rule somewhere that if you eject 3 times they pretty much ground you for good because of the damage it causes to the body.  Could be BS, but it sounds plausible to me. 

Glad everyone is ok. 

I'm no pilot or anything but...what?

I'm no pilot either, but it sounds like the same concept they have for us on the ground. If we get blown up 3 times in a tour (IEDs and other decent blasts), we have to get sent out of theatre to a neurosurgeon to make sure our brain and spine jellies are all good to go. Safety precaution. Plus, I figure if you've ejected 3 times they're basically tired of you crashing their airplanes

I meant assuming that it's accurate the bigger concern would be the fact that Mr magoo can seemingly get a pilots license in the first place. that or I wouldn't want to be standing near the guy in a lightning storm either as he's cursed.

Lol yeah that's kinda my thought process. I've met several folks who've ejected once... Never one who's ejected twice... And of the single trip guys, I know three who were so messed up they couldn't fly again.
