Just a comment: I am somewhat familiar with the story, and I don’t think she had five Class-A incidents, because that would be a dramatically significant accumulation for a Lieutenant in the Navy.
According to the documentation, a “Class A mishap is one in which the total cost of damage to property or aircraft or UAV exceeds $1,000,000, or a naval aircraft is destroyed or missing, or any fatality or permanent total disability results from the direct involvement of naval aircraft or UAV.”
She had four training incidents (as you correctly point out, two would be enough to gt a pilot washed out...usually) but they kept pushing her through. I think these kinds of training incidents were the kind of thing like shooting down your own plane in an engagement, going through an altitude limitation with no good justification or otherwise deviating from the established aviation/NATOPS procedures in such a way that under the right circumstances could result in an accident or loss of life. I don’t thing they were actual accidents...that would be pretty remarkable that they even let her near a plane, in that case if she actually did have five Class-A incidents! (Many of us would think someone like John McCain treads in that territory!)
Your post was otherwise an accurate one, and describes it well.
