True. Though in any kind of serious scenario I'd send an aircraft with actual SEAD capabilities to take out the SAMs anyway.

We can just decide that we don't respawn until rescued, there's no real need to actually script it. Though it would have been a lot more practical if downed pilots could move at a speed of slightly more than two snail-lengths per hour, so moving to a safe area on foot is more practical.
I think the problem with a dedicated SAR aircraft is that to justify it missions would have to be both long and deadly. Otherwise by the time rescue becomes necessary and is accomplished the mission is basically over.
