Because the seat and systems would be at the AEF and cadets would be cycled through a practical training session shortly before they flew, rather than just sitting eating crisps and watching Top Gun.
Yes, abandonment is going to be the last resort but it is no use as such if the process is too complicated (be that because of equipment, training or whatever) to actually carry out. If it is not a practical option then we should ditch the need to wear parachutes on AEF.
