This is PARTIALLY true. The pilot was “partially sucked out” but his coworkers didn’t get tired of holding him- because of the conditions without a windscreen at high altitude they were getting frost bite from holding him- and his head was bouncing off the fuselage and they thought he was already dead so considered letting him go- but it was decided he might go through an engine. The fine distinction here is that loyalty is a quality that isn’t absolute- it comes in degrees- and the question isn’t “letting them die.” It’s more like- how many of you would risk your life or loss of a limb for a coworker you strongly believe is likely dead anyway?
Look man- there’s a huge difference between asking someone to put extra hours in or hustle for a deadline or work harder- and asking them to get frost bite and maybe loose a hand or put themselves in potential risk of death for you. If the way you view reciprocity is: “why should I get this done before the meeting for them when they wouldn’t even be willing. To lose a few fingers for me?” You have a messed up world view. If you think coworkers are disloyal so you shouldn’t bust ass for them- Game theory. YOURE that person. If everyone thinks that way it becomes true. Don’t be part of the problem. Be part of the solution.
Hence that sub set of beyond average people who WILL risk there lives for a stranger. Not everyone has that in them- if everyone did, we wouldn’t see anything so special about it. But those who have or actively are serving are a minority of the population. Most people want to avoid the danger, or they see better opportunities for THEM to get what THEY want by using 4 years on something else. They’ll advance their careers or their dreams while other people die for them, and likely never think about what they could do in return. So most people will put themselves first. Some won’t. I’d like to see less disrespect for those like yourself who give up a piece of their lives asking how they can use it for something more than themselves.
They actually thought he was already dead. It wasn't that they were willing to let him fall to his death, they didn't believe he could have survived what he did. People need to stop trying to start shit
I remember when this happened, what was actually funny, is that when you think about how fast he would have been sucked out of the window, but there was cabin crew around his ankles already. back when the mile high club was available.
