Just do what the Russian pilots did in WWII....

When they ran out of ammo they would fly up close to a German bomber an use their prop to slice off the tail fin....

so de-stabilizing the bomber which went into a tail spin...

The Russian pilot then bailed out to fight another day.

So Pilot Lt. Heather “Lucky” Penney just needs to make a high speed close pass ant take out the vertical fin then hit the eject button.

The realities of a prop fighter cutting off the tail of a prop bomber are quite different jet fighter doing a kamikaze on a jet airliner... by several magnitudes.

Example may be German fighters, the sonder-komandos (SP) I believe they were called; were not totally successful against U.S. bombers over Germany.

Several USAF crews abandoned the bombers successfully... One I believe actually was a case were the fighter cut most of the tail and rear gunner/turret off the bomber, and continued to fly under the bomber then flew up and through the cockpit (IIRC) and many of the USAF crew still bailed out.

Saw both the USAF crew member and the German pilot on TV. Still alive. Does anyone think the physics and speed of a jet-fighter/airliner would allow any survivor/s to bail out?

Really?

The modern plans are only to give the pilots some hope, but even the pilots did/do not think it would work....
