Not at all. Pilots are more expensive than ejector seats. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Originally posted by TheGrunch:

oh is it such a good idea this is its only con?
exactly on this way you save pilots life in a cheap way, i dont see your point would it be better a death pilot cause he couldnt eject for example for too much speed?
edit:
i think theres been extensive testing on bailing out at high speeds, and it was considered imposible
even the game models this
come on wwii has to be a fairy tale why would nobody think of this such a good idea that nobody here will admitt as such which makes me wonder the real face of people here
Your idea doesn't save pilots that are forced to bail at low altitudes due to for example engine failure on takeoff or accidents on aircraft carriers, or simply taking hits at low level, i.e. for pilots in attack aircraft. This has been pointed out to you. In that sense, ejector seats are less expensive than your idea. Where are the majority of pilot losses likely to be nowadays? Low-level attack, training accidents or equipment failure.
