The major issue with the system are them being hanger queens (though imagine a helicopter based versions maintenance workload... ignoring its useless in space) and requiring at least three major skill sets to operate... and of course training your fly boys in infantry tactics.

The infantry tactics part isn't much of a stretch. In most air forces, pilots start off as infantry anyway - that's essentially what Basic Military Training is. Granted, 2-3 months of rifle drill, formations and squad tactics isn't going to make you the equal of a commando or whatever. But it does mean even an average pilot would already have some idea of what to do, and some basis for further training to build on.
