Actually that's a yes and a no. Yes, because a lot of experienced pilots use low tier planes like Silber. No, because many of the player characters started out as nuggets. If you listen to mission 1 dialogue it will automatically reveal who's a nugget or an experienced pilot.

Ex. AC0 mission 1 Pixy comments about how Cipher's rep isn't anything special= experienced pilot

Ex. AC4 mission 1 if you read Mobius One's page on this site it says that he shot down six TU-95 Bears making him an immediate ace= nugget
