I thought they had zero-zero ejection seats now? Wouldn't it have been cheaper just to pull the lever? In a word, NO.
Ejecting would seriously destroy the cockpit, damage avionics, and possibly compromise structural integrity. And that's assuming the ejection works and canopy opens.
If not, we have all that damage plus a dead pilot.

Many thanks.
