Pilot's lives are worth one point just like everyone else. There's no more reason to save a stranded pilot than to save a stranded soldier whose squad got wiped out. Each case it's one point.

When the pilot looks around him, he notices a car with it's window broken, upon further inspection there are keys in said car. Would you expect him to ignore this, and just start walking? Or hop in and drive like his life depended on it?

Or does it mean they don't put it all over the internet so potential terrorists who want to shoot down American helicopters can go study their tactics and have a better chance of capturing a downed pilot. I didn't mean to imply that i saw all of their training topics and the car jacking section is a big secret so they left it off the list.

I don't think you'll win any arguments with the 'its only worth 1 ticket' comeback. That ticket represents a life. Should i just ignore you when you are being surrounded and shot at by countless insurgents? After all, you're only worth 1 ticket.

'[R-DEV wrote:Eddie Baker;1111576']If he's too stupid to live, then I'd expect him to hop in and drive. Enemy territory. That means the enemy owns the roads, which are used for the mass transport of their troops, so there will also be traffic control points (i.e., roadblocks) manned by other armed personnel. If they spot a non military vehicle driven by someone with the wrong uniform or even complexion, or that is being driven after a posted curfew, they will do whatever it takes to stop it and the person in it.

Likewise, if you're maintaining silence on your survival radio or personnel locating beacon since the enemy is monitoring signals, you can't give notice that you're coming in a civilian or enemy vehicle, so that friendly forces won't shoot you when you drive towards your own advancing ground forces or are driving in enemy territory on a road that your own aircraft are going to be bombing the living **** out of.

The reason you cannot find details of what kind of escape and evasion training US pilots get is because it is classified. SERE Level C school students sign a non-disclosure agreement in addition to whatever clearance they already possess and are subject to prosecution and actual rather than simulated imprisonment if they violate it.

To summarize, this idea is never going to be implemented.
