When is a Pilot not a Pilot ?
Wrathmonk,
Once a pilot, always a pilot (same as riding a bike) IMHO. If they weren't pilots before they "sat down at the at the piano", then they aren't pilots now. But I realise and respect the contrary opinion.
What does puzzle me is this: by all accounts the RAF has pilots coming out of its ears these days, has sacked trainees almost up to Wings Parade and doesn't need any more for the time being.
So why recruit for this new "Speciality", when you have all these people tailor-made for conversion to the trade ? Or am I missing something ?

...you saw this with JTIDS being put into the Vickers Funbus - incredibly useful...
No bugger ever said thanks though....
