Not necessarily. There have been cases of rogue serviceman, both British and foreign, and even a deranged crew member , German Wings, led to the loss of the aircraft and all on board. Why take the risk, as I assume a Voyager has the same armoured door as civil A330s. ?
I think it hardly sensitive to ask if it's RAF policy for a "solo" pilot to be fully strapped in when alone in the cockpit.
