Yea, which seems good to me. They probably wont survive the fall, judging from the e3 stuff, most people died as, unlike in ps1, without the ejector seat, when you leave your aircraft, the physics still apply. When people jumped out mid air, they carried on moving at 200 mph and slammed into something and squished.
But there is still no balance issue or problem with allowing different armour types to fly. A dedicated pilot may go engy and forego an ejector seat and accept that when they get shot down, its curtains for them - although they will have better than average survivabiity due to using flares isntead of ejector seat etc. Someone may decided to use a fighter as an insertion method for rexo.. if they want to burn their resources that way, then so be it. Others wil use light assault for the compromise of not being able to repair their fighter if they get damaged, but having the extra chance to surive of a jetpack. If you do get shot down in the midde of nowhere, you will probably regret having spent the points on the ejector seat anyway
