Do you think they pick their best pilots to drive these things, because they're the only ones who can handle it? Or do they pick their worst pilots because these things are death traps and they're gonna kill you regardless of your skill?
I mean, would it really matter? The Osprey isn't a very safe aircraft, but the US operates a lot of not-very-safe aircraft. Most Osprey fatal crashes weren't due to pilot error, so having the best pilot in the world wouldn't have made a single difference.
