Aircraft switching in network game

[scatter]

Has anyone managed to "jump aircraft" to an AI aircraft in a network game? (maybe it's not supposed to work but it's a server option). I'm flying FC1.12a

 

In single player it works fine and I've enabled it on the server options (and set to global) but haven't managed to get it to work - so I'm interested to see if it's just me.

 

Reason that I'd like to use it is that I fly co-op with a small number of people (only 128k uplink) - while we mostly fly ground attack it'd be nice to have an AI escort that we could jump into to add some spice to our missions.
