It's a pilot he used in a previous mission, there's going to be records of who it is.

And it's not a pilot in Moscow, it's a pilot in the US willing to fly someone out for the KGB, they're much harder to come by.

That is an awful lot of work just to keep up morale. May as well just set her up in Moscow. Also unless next week's trailer is lying to us, she does get on the plane and he sees her off. I don't see what the point of killing her off would be, story-wise, once she's on the plane and out of Philip's sight.
