You will know, whereas I do not, but from reading about command eject, I gained the impression that it does not merely ensure both crew are ejected, but that they do so in a sequenced order, to give both the best possible chance of ejecting safely. I think I read that under this arrangement the rear seat occupant ejects about half a second before the front seat occupant. No matter how honed the skills of the professionals are, that kind of sequencing/timing may be more difficult to achieve.
