What height do Army Airborne open their parachute?
I am currently a paratrooper myself and I can tell you that we normally jump at 1250 feet. The parachutes are connected to a static line which is attached to the aircraft and the parachute automatically deploys and is fully inflated after about 4 seconds. After that depending on your weight and how much gear you are carrying you fall at about 20 ft per second until you crash hard into the ground....

Why no Parachute in passenger aircraft?
Parachutes would add weight to the aircraft. Also, the passengers on board would not know how to use a parachute even if they had one, or might not be able to. An event in a passenger aircraft that might need a parachute would be very rare anyway. Some smaller aircraft have 'BRS' parachutes which parachute the whole aircraft to the ground. Commercial airlines do not carry parachutes as there is unlikely to be a situation which would merit their use. The costs (not neccesarily meaning financial costs) would far outweight the benefits.

What would happen if a pilot tried to escape a damaged fighter with only a parachute?
With modern jet powered fighter aircraft survival would be practically impossible as he would be struck by parts of the aircraft. An ejection seat is needed to ensure that he completely cleared the aircraft and was at a safe distance before deploying the parachute. Older propeller driven fighter aircraft as used in WW2 and earlier escape was usually possible with just a parachute because of lower speeds, but pilots still had to be careful to avoid hitting the tail structures on some fighter aircraft.
