(For instance, the F-18 Raptor, a plane that costs about $350,000,000, has an ejector seat for the pilot.)

Maybe pilots who feel more confident in survivability are more effective (not to mention more willing to fly the plane). I've seen "leave no man behind" justified in this way.

And maybe some pilots eject when they could try harder to save the plane instead. Has anyone checked which is correct?

Does a fighter plane have a black box, like the one that is there in passenger planes?
