This will only be an issue when AH3 comes in and you have complex characters with rank, etc. Till then its just not worth it to save anonymous clone pilot 245323 from having to lose 2.3 perks and receive a "you have been captured" message.
Anyone remember how in BF1942 you could "jump" aboard a nearby plane or vehicle in flight and man the guns? Gotta love those gamey moments.
PS: Speaking of BF1942 give me the ability to lay land mines! Imagine the fun you could have putting them on the runway....
