Given that Sweden isn't in NATO, why would NATO care what Sweden
does, and why would Sweden care what NATO requires?

It started with Partnership for Peace.

And now, for example, SWAFRAP JAS 39A recently took part
in Dragon's Nest 2004 and will fly in Joint Winter 2005.

Most likely international operations we'll take part in
will be NATO-led.

You're right in that pilots not part of the rapid reaction
force don't need any waiver. (And given the current
economic climate it's not given they'd get one, the
SWAFRAPs have priority.)
