That sux. It won't work then.

WOFF assigns planes to regular pilot (and no need to fiddle with these, as they get assigned correct planes) on a 3-tier basis:

Tier 1 for highest ranks
Tier 2 for middle ranks
Tier 3 for lowest ranks

Ranks are divided thus:

Britain (RFC)
Sergeant - 3
2nd Lieutenant - 2
Lieutenant - 2
Captain - 1
Major - 1

Britain (RNAS)
Flight Sub-Lieutenant - 3
Flight Lieutenant - 2
Flight Commander - 1
Squadron Commander - 1

France
Caporal - 3
Sergent - 3
Adjutant - 2
Sous Lieutenant - 2
Lieutenant - 1
Capitaine - 1

Germany
Flieger - 3
Gefreiter - 3
Unteroffizier - 3
Feldwebel - 2
Vizefeldwebel - 2
Offizierstellvertreter - 2
Leutnant - 2
Hauptmann - 1
Rittmeister - 1

But it all matters not, since you can't extract the ranks from the HA's and these are the ones that need their plane assignments revised.
