Unable to choose a plane in Co-Op missions

I am Unable to choose a plane in Co-Op missions
I have created co-op missions but then when we host it the person who hosts it can choose a plane (one of 4 flyable on the map)but no other player can choose a plane and spawn! Is this just a half finished Map editor or am I missing something really obvious?
On a completely different subject can anyone give me a rundown on:
1: Bail out. Tried to hit key to bail after blowing hatch off and nothing happens? (Yes, shoot is checked in spawnpoint)
2: compass. Is there any way to bind a view key to it? (not just instrument panel view)
3: when navigating do you use the large compass behind the stick or the electronic one on the instrument panel?
