It almost harps back to the days of WWI when the top-brass didn't want their aviators abandoning their aircraft!
Oddly enough I was at a RAFA meeting last night and we were talking about parachutes. I mentioned the E3 and the para exit and he made exactly the same point.
Now here's a thought.
Use the E3 with special technicians on board. When they have finished their part of their mission they can RTU without any hassle from movers or plods
