Can anyone tell me the meaning of the song 'Drop the Pilot'?

The question is - can Joan Armatrading even tell us the meaning of "Drop The Pilot"? Perhaps it's about a guy who was a keen amateur pilot, and also played in goal for his local footie team. He had a bit of a "Dudek week" so to speak, then the following week the assistant coach's advice to the team's manager was... "Stick with him, it'll give his confidence a boost." - No. I got that wrong didn't i?

Perhaps its a hi-jackers song?
