It's an issue not previously revealed; there's no indication of when, or if, it will be corrected; of which software build it will be incorporated into; and of the cost of rectification.

It may be true that the auto-eject system would take the pilot clear, but if it happened over the deck it would still be incredibly dangerous. Would you like to be on deck when when an F-35B did a back flip 50ft up?
