Wouldn't that be a real bad idea for a combat jet, that GCAS is still active after ejection? I'd imagine you'd want it hitting the ground as hard as possible to destroy as much of the jet as possible. Yeah, it'd crash with GCAS on too, but it just seems like it would be lot more logical for it to disarm after an ejection...
