Not in THIS series.
The only apparent amateur pilots are the Trinity siblings, and they didn't last long once they lost the technological advantage.
Everyone of note in the show had training. Even Setsuna probably know how to pilot a workloader before CB picked him up.
Since Saji wasn't training to be a pilot after the 4 year timeskip, he isn't ever going to. And his personal tragedies doesn't mean anything, as everyone else who survived would become even better pilots.
Saji was NEVER a wish fulfillment character; he was the civilian view. And those who think the civilian view doesn't matter, obviously don't under stand how the world works. Without civilians, there would be no reason for war.
