Can I ask a ignorant question ,
why does no (that i know of) transport aircaft have no ejection seats?
we are constantly being told the years of training and expense of getting a pilot to a good standard is the most important thing on a aircraft(rightly so).
But yet no transport aircraft have them, fighters,bombers and trainers its a standard.I can understand if you have a full load of troops and its crashing it might not be looked on with favour if the crew eject, and the troops perish but if it's just equipment surely it's better for the crew to get out?
