aviatrix

If one is referring to Pilot in the aircraft sense of the term ( of course there were and are Harbor Pilots- long before that- the German derived term Steerman is apt. 0-but fo the aircraft pilots- Aviatrix is the standard term, the female of Aviator. it literally means Birdwoman- Avis- Birds ( not the auto rental agency!) plus the female suffix Trix. Amelia Earhart was the premiere Aviatrix, so to speak. New film coming out about her October 23, it caught on in a flash- pun intended, the mysterious Electra Project. By the way ( Trix) is sometimes used to mean a fast or loose woman- a take-off ( pun intended) on Aviatrix. the rarely used term Viatrix- implies something like a ( woman who gets around) or a Runaround Sue type- again a tie in.
