"Think fighter planes...."
Fighter Planes are flimsy, that is why they have ejector seats so they pilot is not in one when they crash, otherwise the pilot dies. Cargo planes on the other hand usually do not have ejector seats because a lot of crashes are survivable if the pilot stays on board. because they are big ad slow and have a lot of metal around the crew. Bad analogy.

At $1.599/gallon the pilot probably landed just to get a fill-up.

(Yes, yes, I know, different type of fuel).
