I wonder what would happen if I created a directory for the device,
and in that directory, I created the device statically with the
permissions and ownerships I want and then udev can go do whatever it
likes.
It seems to be a better than delving into /etc/udev, and dealing with
a whole other set of intricacies. It's an idea I have, and I am just
going to try it.
Thanks for everyone's help so far!

You are battling with udev.... Turns out that every time you reboot,
the /dev/ directory is wiped out. The files are regenerated by udev
when the system boots or you and I dynamically plug something in.
Now you can look to manipulate the udev rules to automatically create
your symlink of /dev/pilot, for example, there are several examples in
the archives. But the system should probably already have a rule to
assign the "logged-in user" as the owner of the serial port or any
dynamically created USB ports.... You can see some of this in
/etc/udev/rules.d/....
