From those I've seen interviewed, and from my own military background, I would expect that any pilot asked to shoot down an aircraft will certainly be reluctant. But they will trust that the Generals making this call have the better insight into the situation and the pilots will do what is asked of them. Sadly for sure - but they will follow orders as they are trained to do.
