I still can't believe that Ukrainian pilots could be trained up on American/western aircraft quickly enough to make a difference given the opportunity cost of what else could be shipped over instead.

Good point about the GMLRS missile expenditure rate; it's been a target-rich environment for HIMARs over there, and there just aren't enough rockets with which to surprise Russian troops/supply lines.
