You won't survive a jump out of a jet that's flying at 700km/h at 30,000 feet

Lot’s of reasons.
You need to be trained to operate a parachute correctly or will seriously injure yourself - you’re in better hands to trust a pilot.
The slip stream would just slam the jumper back against the plane causing serious injury.
The weight of all the parachute would cause ticket prices to rise.
Space limitations would make airplanes even more crowded.

Any commercial airliner experiencing a problem that would make you want to jump out of it would probably not be at full cruising altitude/speed, one would assume.
