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?
I also go with the first scenario... He's an 180A that got sent to flight school. Here's why: in every incarnation that Hasbro ever gave us of Flint, he's NEVER a pilot; he's always a SF Operator/Commando.
Pilot is his secondary MOS on his first file card, but as we discussed, by his second file card, "pilot" is not even mentioned. And for a quite a few of his later incarnations, "pilot" is never mentioned.
Flint is arguably the most qualified, well-rounded Joe on the entire team. Obviously there are a few others who would give him a run for his money, but from education to military training, Flint is tough to beat. If the Joes are a Tier 1 Special Ops unit, then it only makes sense for them to recruit operators with unusual skills - A rhodes scholar who was an 18C, and then went Warrant Officer and got a slot to flight school seems like a natural choice. That's Flint.
The former Commando who became a Warrant Officer by going to flight school? That's not Flint. But we do have a Joe who fits that description: it's Wild Bill.
