Yeah no working military pilot is going to publically disrespect their aircraft, lest their career take a sudden turn toward desk duty.

I did get a sense of

"These sandwiches are acceptable."

"Permission to speak freely?"

"Permission denied"

"These sandwiches are acceptable."

Nobody giving an interview to the media is going to disparage their own company if they want to continue working.

It's just common sense.

Agreed! However, not all of the pilots in the article were actively flying, so there's that.
