+1 very good point - you should be able to order AI (or other players) to bail, while you try to keep the aircraft in the air for long enough

and

+1 for DKoor.

I don't care about the eyecandy, as it would mean a lot of work to model the complete sequence with all oddities that could happen (hitting wings and stuff, being wounded and pinned to the seat, drag, g-force-limitations, even the necessity to model interior and external details at the same time, etc.), but considering we will have a lot more player-crewed planes and bombers Former_Older and DKoor have some very strong points here.
