Sensing that he was being “ignored” by the airplane, the pilot ejected, sustaining significant but non-life-threatening injuries.

While the article clearly has import in this thread, It is possible that this particular factor, or a variation on it, may have been part of the 35/130 meeting. Just supposing.. Maybe a copy can be posted over there?
