So your squad's pinned down in a base, tanks + planes outside, you know you can't even leave the building without dying. You're part of a small squad, so although you can defend it for a bit longer, there's no way of getting outside help from teammates. Unless...
Rapid Air Response! An outfit (with or without that name) dedicated to giving help where help is needed! Instead of waiting until more enemies arrive and take the base/kill you all, jump into a chat/channel/voice/message/carrier pidgeon with a dispatcher, tell them your location and situation, and (if available of course) they'll send a squad of Libs/fighters to clear things up on short notice!
Think EMS+Mercenaries, but without the payment or medical parts.
Or perhaps, if they don't have any emergencies to tend to, ask them for an escort/Gal pilot (because your infantry-based outfit can't fly worth beans, especially without certs).
I think this opens up a lot more opportunities for smaller outfits, assuming it's done right. Maybe you like playing with irl friends, and don't have a giant outfit backing you up. RAR could back you up when you're in trouble, or provide some extra support in your weak areas, especially since in a small ground-based outfit (the big ones already have designated drivers, and as such don't need help), getting someone to cert Galaxy might be tough.
TL;DR: Certed/experienced pilots for hire, when and where they're needed, because you might not have any on hand.
Thoughts? Comments? Criticism?
