Ejection seats are a use case noche unique to military flying where the pilot is A) the most irreplaceable piece in terms of warfighting, and B) injury of the pilot in the escape attempt is considered an acceptable tradeoff.

If you really want chills, think about this: a conscious decision was made with covil aviation that it was more economically feasible to sacrifice the human lives on board, and resolve the rest through lawsuits.

In short: if you know/are critical to the process of murdering extra-natiomals, you warrant a life saving device.

If you're a civillian, you're a line item in a potential series legal judgements.
