IIRC the fighters that were mobilized planned to ram since they took off without time to load missiles onboard, but all of our fighter keys have ejection seats. I assume the plan was to eject.

To ensure the fighters crippled the passenger plane, at least one of the scrambled National Guard pilots ruled out ejecting.

The other hoped to eject before impact.
