How is a message like: "Music crash landed" any different than an existing shoot-down message like, "Tolwyn saws off Music's wing"?
The original request isn't unreasonable, could easily be incorporated into server messages, and just extends information about pilot status that the game currently provides. It certainly wouldn't turn IL-2 into World of Warplanes!
Music's request also brings up the issue that IL2 doesn't do a very good job of training new players. The learning curve to fly certain planes is more of a cliff than a curve and can be very discouraging for newbies.
Obviously, the best way to learn is to get into a squad and learn from the experts, but that's not an option for many players.
IL2 needs a primary training plane (I'm hoping the U-2 becomes flyable soon, since it would be ideal), and it needs a better system of missions for teaching the basics of flying, like coordinated turns, engine management, basic maneuvers, and smooth landings.
