This is annoying to say the least.
i dont think that is a good idea

having players being able to switch crew positions in one aircraft, or change aircraft (when killed or bored) adds "playability" for players.

to solve your problem, which is presumably that players switching aircraft use it as a cheat to avoid being registered as killed, is to make the server change the nick of the "jumping" player to something more generic (eg they loose their original nick tag, and get assigned a default new nick like "re-spawned"

if you notice players use the re-spawned method multiple times, you could even have the server number the name-tag, eg respawn1-12x etc

trying to completely remove a very good new feature (re-spawning to a new vehicle/plane) to try and solve a minor problem cause by a few idiots is not a very good idea
