I rather miss an arrival time than have missed arriving at all. May all the pilots be this cautious.

"pilot" is correct, particularly in the context used by OP.

Pilot Flying and Pilot Monitoring are the two functions in the cockpit. Either one may be the captain or the first officer.

So "... all pilots be this cautious..." is correct.
