If I understand correctly this makes it possible to manage human pilots, and assign them to a specific flight, and I see this is important when there are lots of pilots as described on the wiki page.
What would also be nice was to be able to have a roster of AI pilots. So that the AI pilots are a resource the commander has to manage. This would make it possible for example to compose a flight of one Ace, two Average and one Rookie pilot. That would give more "realistic" flights (if I recall correctly they now always are one skill type in one flight), and it would also give more "life" to the AI pilots. They would get their own stats, and say after a few kills or survived missions they would advance in skill level... And like it is now with reinforcements of planes, you would need fresh recruits of pilots too.
) I have created a Pilot Roster tool, available right now via the MP AutoUpdater (see http://wiki-seow-en.swil.fr/index.php/Pilot_Roster_Tool for details). Here is a screenshot:
