DD,
AFAIK the current requirement is to be a current/former Qualified Service Pilot (essentially winged & combat ready) or be winged & approved specifically by (I think) Group Captain Fg Trg or similar (i.e. be of a sensible nature and own two arms and two legs). This last caveat is fairly recent and allows folks on epic holds post-wings to do some flying.
As for ppls etc, have not heard anything about that, but was not on the cards last year
afaik. Sorry no more current ideas.
