I realize the latter makes more sense from a reality standpoint, but Flint's character is more 180A than anything else.
I don't think I've ever seen Flint fly a helicopter come to think of it. I've seen him fly a Skystriker, a Sky Hawk maybe a Conquest X-30?
Everyone does their joeverse their own way. I go with Warrant Officer after flight school. A SF Warrant is a SME on all things SF. He's the knowledge base for the team and has to take a broader view of the SF mission than just his team. He's going know strategic goals that are "above the paygrade" of the average SF sergeant. The a lot of knowledge to keep current on by itself. To be a great pilot, you to fly and stay current. You're not going to have time to do both. SF groups don't have a need for 180A helicopter pilots. Their mission involves training lightly equipped irregular militia to overthrow governments hostile to us. The militias rarely have any air assets to employ. Unlike DELTA or DEVGRU, SF doesn't need to use be a pilot as a cover. Also, DELTA and DEVGRU have dedicated military pilots as part of the overall unit. Operators with flying skills have civilian licenses. That comes in handy when a team is undercover and you don't want to put extra personnel at risk. They can pretened to be smugglers or steal an aircraft to escape a third world country. SF doesn't have that need. SF missions are long-term ventures. You can't just leave the militia guys behind when a mission gets hot and fly off on a stolen plane. They have to make sure the militia guys come back as well. Otherwise, trust is lost and potential allies become enemies.
If you really need him to be an SF Warrant, it would make more sense that he got a civilian pilot's license as a Joe and just skip Flight Warrant Officer School completely.
