If each squadron has 3 replacement pilots, that's going to affect the calculated conversion of Dirtside CS to FT Mass.  That's calculated as 16 cs for each fighter,[plus 50% for hanger space] 4 cs for each pilot's billet, 4 cs for each ground crew's billet, PLUS 4 cs for each replacement pilot's billet!  So, 9 FT mass is really 12 cs larger than was previously calculated.

What we use in my local Campaign for Fighter Pilots.

    Fighter recovery rules: roll 1 die for each fighter (Green Pilots -1 
to roll, Vet +1, Elite +2)
    1-3: pilot killed, fighter destroyed
    4-5: pilot recovered, fighter destroyed
    6: pilot recovered, fighter recovered (just needs some duct tape  :-P 
).
        Each squadron has 3 replacement pilots.

Just a brain-wrapping note, you can always PSB it that fighter kills 
are not
necessarily outright destruction of the fighter and death of the pilot, 
but
more of a 'combat kill', rendering the fighter no longer capable of 
combat
and returns to its base ship if possible. So the pilot survives, just 
isn't
able to finish the fight this time around. There are ways to represent 
this
in actual game play if you want to track 'combat kills' and 'actual
destructions', but it makes life a lot more complicated.
