In the early 1960s, deployment of rocket-powered ejection seats designed for use at supersonic speeds began in such planes as the Convair F-106 Delta Dart. Six pilots have ejected at speeds exceeding 700 knots (1,300 km/h; 810 mph).
Jet transports will glide a long distance from cruise altitudes. From 35000 feet the airplane can glide for over 100 miles. More importantly, you are 300 times more likely to be involved in a fatal car crash than you are to have all engines fail in a transport jet. So, I'd put an ejection seat in my car before I began to worry about a problem on an airliner.
