Some ejection seats are modules.  I believe the FB-111 and the B-1
have the type of ejection system where both pilots are ejected together
still inside the cockpit.  (Remember when the B-1 crashed, they showed
the ejected module lying on the desert floor) This, I would imagine,
would take care of the problem of the ouside air killing the pilot/
passengers on contact and the problem of ejection through the roof of
the craft.

Ofcource the module would be fried by the exhaust.....
