We do not have an unlimited supply of pilots. It takes years to train a pilot. Although, I would imagine in the future with unmanned planes.... They will become a lot easier to fly.

The years of training may explain why, in fact, hardly any pilots are killed by being shot down by enemy forces. That and the fact we never take on anything more dangerous than a bunch of peasants in pajamas armed with AK47s.
