So the fresh faced young clerk at HQ will be called an aviator?! Brilliant!
Oh come on
Bob, we've had Pilot Officers and Flying Officers of both sexes/genders (other sexes/genders are available!) who never got out of an SHQ office, so why the problem?
However, [Pedant Mode ON] "aviator" implies male, the female of course is an "aviatrix"!! And the term Airman might suggest one who flies................ kind of the equivalent of soldier or sailor......
