If you've ever seen a skydiver jump ship, you'll realise that they are
NOT jumping out of perfectly good airplanes!

The adage is make the jump ship scary enough that the skydivers don't
want to ride it back down to a landing, but not quite scary enough that
the pilot doesn't want to ride it back to a landing...
