A derogatory term for aircraft pilots (regardless of him/her being in the fixed-wing/airplane or rotary/
helicopter community). This species of aviators is prevalent in the commercial airlines, private aviation, or the military (e.g. Navy, Marines, Air Force, Army, and even the Coast Guard and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration/NOAA). The term can also be used to denote astronauts.
True to the name, the
