Escorts aren't there to kill you, they're there to CD you before you even come in range and then keep you away from the trader.
PEOPLE!
If you hold your finger on the thrust and strife left and right while heading towards a station, and a bomber is more than 0.5k away from you, you've won.
All escorts need to do is to CD spamm him and when you're at 1.5k from him, you can even cruise.
Just remember, if escorts are really stupid, you need to share that with them. You would share it with a waitress in a restaurant if you didn't get an order you wanted.
