I posted this question in the other B2 crashing thread

But the crew of the B2 is honestly worth more than 1.2 billion dollars?  They spend more money training them than on the B2 itself? 

That is fucking crazy.

cant put a dollar sign next human life.  Ive been responsible for over 13 million dollars worth of equipment.  I have a GED.

You can determine how much a person is worth to the comppany/army by the cost of their training.

Their experience cost more. Just look at WWII at Pacific war theatre - Japan lost war because they lacked natural resources\experienced pilots. After Battle for Midway (when they lost 4 big aircraft carriers) they still had enough carriers and good aircraft, yet lacked good pilots.

All we need now is for John Travolta to organise a leet group of commandos to steal the nuclear ordinance that was on board, attempt to hide it underground and then on a train, while being foiled at every turn by both the guy AND girl from Fern Gully.

And then for him to die some elaborate death possibly including impaling and his shoes switching colour between scenes.

Care to guess the movie?

Broken Arrow?

Although I don't recall the shoes switching colours.

Lack of experienced pilots forced Japanese Imperial Navy (and later Army)  to accept that tough decition - launch kamikaze attacks on US naval ships. There was no kamikaze in early war on Pacific Ocean - they were first seen in 1944. Kamikaze was the only way to deliver their bombs and torpedos for unexperienced pilots.

Geez. Does anybody have to have the pressure of operating a more expensive piece of equipment than that?

The Space Shuttle, perhaps. The F-22 is only 150 million.
