The analysis and conclusions of the responders here (2018) seem pretty invalidated by the 2024 F-35B ejection incident. Maybe more thought should be put into wh

  A single incident doesn’t invalidate anything. No one has argued that it’s impossible for a fighter to fly on for a significant period of time in good shape after a pilot ejects, or the pilot has never ejected mistakenly out of an air worthy aircraft. Rather the argument is that this is a vanishing rare occurrence and the complexities of trying to implement an unmanned auto pilot of a potentially damaged aircraft are probably not worth the handful of times it might be used. One incident doesn’t disprove that it’s vanishingly rare.
