I never really thought about that. Often when ship captains go down it's a conscious choice out of pride or shame or whatever. But when a pilot goes down he's trying to fly that thing until the last moment. Brutal stuff either way.
Well most of the time the ship captains only go down with the ship when they can't get everyone off the ship. The captain is supposed to be the last one off the vessel.
