every U.S. fighter pilot interviewed would pick the F-35A over his former jet in a majority of air-to-air (dogfight) engagement scenarios they could face.

How many dogfight engagements have A-10's been in?

"How many dogfight engagements have A-10's been in? "

Nothing compares with the Warthog for its specific and limited mission.

And as much as the USAF hates to provide CAS, they'll be keeping the A-10 for the foreseeable future.

WTH does that really mean? That they'd pick the F-35 in 51% of possible dogfight scenarios?

Geeze louise, even Amazon provides the actual numbers that form the approval %ages.
