Of course it does - most RAF pilots have little trouble getting civil jobs at the end of their military career.

However, that point is fairly irrelevant. The three services, all of whom recruit pilots, are all shrinking but trying to maintain the highest possible standards. So, anybody not firmly deducated to a military life and career will be weeded out at the selection stage. It's debateable whether it ever was, but the RAF is certainly not now a route to a civil flying job - that is just what military pilots tend to do post retirement aged 38 or so.
