I thought that was just during an aborted launch or a close to launch incident.
I don't think there was much of a plan for return to earth escapes after they had installed four command seats in the cockpit instead of two.
Plus ejecting from a shuttle traveling that fast and hot after re-entry would probably be pretty fatal.
