They won't be LCpl pilots.
All that has changed is the rank requirements to apply for the pilot course. It used to be LCpl recommended Cpl. Now you can apply as Pte or equivalent recommended LCpl.
They will be granted local Sgt (paid at the rank/trade they were on application) on course and promoted to substantive Sgt on wings with supplement 4 and RRP(F) on completion of CTT
