I think it makes good sense.
-We will have to use the ejection seat shortly if the engine does not relight
-I want you to establish the propper seating position for ejection
-Check that you are properly strapped in for ejection
If you have ever flown with inexperienced pax in the backseat of a fighter, you would know how overwhelmed they tend to be on the first few rides, and how much of their normal capacity is lost once they are strapped in and the canopy is closed. Furthermore, with all the noises in the cockpit, it would be fairly easy to miss hear what was said in those 3 sentences above, especially in a situation where one i scared ****less.
So what happens if/ when the driver is incapacitated between the EJECT bit and the BAILOUT COMMAND??
Or Vice Versa even???
On the positive side it probably got someone a
well deserved promotion.
