You still seem to fail to note that a bailed pilot isn't neccesarily out of the fight...
For the most part it is.
The rare exceptions are when it's close enough to a field that it can walk to it, or if it's using its own icon to stand next to enemy GVs (this is lame, but I've seen it) for targetting.
Both of these take forever. On "foot" you probably travel across a map tile in about 30 minutes.
As for check6s? So what. If he's not, anybody else is. You can't get angry when your target realizes you're there. No difference from him getting a tingle with his spidey-sense and looking behind himself, or getting a c6 from somebody flying nearby but not in his fight, or from a chute floating down. That's a non-issue.
Once in the chute, they are pretty much out of the fight unless they land RIGHT on top of another fight.
EDIT: For the record I don't shoot much, but when I do I don't have any qualms about it. More a habit than anything, no real moral outrage. I find it funny that folks are in such a furor over chutes today. They're basically a nonentity. The chute is out of the fight 99.9999% of the time. I bet that's about the same chance of a stricken plane shooting you with its cannons as it floats down tailless.
