No, it’s nothing to do with having superhero flying skills - its about having the necessary and relevant skills.
A 747 Captain isn’t a superhero and a firefighting pilot isn’t any more of a superhero - each simply has the skills necessary and relevant to their job.
A chap who has 1000 hours of sitting in the right seat while a student does circuits isn’t qualified for either a 747 job or a firebombing job - that’s obvious reality - I really don’t know how anyone would think otherwise.
And that’s not saying the others pilots have superhero skills - it’s just pointing out who is, and who isn’t qualified for a particular job.
