Son of a Chicago mobster, Lt. Butch O’Hare is shown seated in the cockpit of his Grumman F4F Wildcat fighter, spring 1942. The aircraft is marked with five Japanese flags, representing the five enemy bombers he was credited with shooting down in defense of the USS Lexington. He received the Medal of Honor, but unfortunately would not survive the war; however, his name lives on as Chicago O'Hare international airport (KORD).

The Women's Airforce Service Pilots (WASP): Soaring Through Gender Barriers 🛩🐝
During World War II, while the world battled on various fronts, a quieter revolution took flight in the United States. The Women's Airforce Service Pilots, or WASP, were a pioneering group of female aviators who defied traditional gender norms, proving that women could excel in roles historically reserved for men.
Origins of the WASP
With many American men serving overseas, the country faced a need to tap into underutilized domestic resources. The WASP program, initiated in 1943, merged two existing women's flying programs: the Women's Flying Training Detachment (WFTD) and the Women's Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron (WAFS). These women, under the guidance of aviators like Jacqueline Cochran and Nancy Love, would play a critical role in the war effort.
Duties and Contributions
The WASPs were trained pilots who contributed in non-combat roles. They ferried military aircraft across the country, tested planes, instructed male pilots, and even towed targets for live anti-aircraft artillery practice. They fulfilled the non-combat roles formerly occupied by male pilots, so more male pilots were available for combat roles. Women were not allowed to fly combat missions until [many years later, in 1993.. By the end of the war, WASPs had flown every type of military aircraft, logged over 60 million miles, and transported nearly 12,650 aircraft of 78 different types.
Challenges and Gender Biases
Despite their significant contributions, WASPs constantly faced skepticism and discrimination. They weren’t considered members of the military but were seen as civil service employees. They had to pay for their own uniforms, lodging, and sometimes even their way home after the end of their service. If a WASP pilot died during service, her burial costs fell on her family or fellow pilots.
Recognition and Legacy
In 1977, after years of advocacy by WASP veterans, President Jimmy Carter signed legislation granting WASP pilots veteran status. Later, in 2009, they were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for their service, sacrifice, and pioneering spirit. The legacy of the WASP program not only paved the way for women's integration into the U.S. Air Force but also demonstrated the capabilities of women in high-pressure, technical roles.

About Mech Pilots:
There are many different kinds of mech pilots. But they can be arranged into a spectrum with monotask on one side and multitask on the other.
Multitask pilots have a life and skill sets outside of their combat vehicle. They can still be dangerous without their ride because of their tactical and political acumen. Examples of such pilots can be found in Titanfall, Lancer, and Battletech/Mechwarrior.
Monotask pilots are essentially organic control devices mounted inside the mech. They have slightly more personality and agency than other system components like an autoloader or jet thrusters. But the pilot is just as useless as those things if removed from the greater whole. Examples of these pilots can be found in Armored Core and Warhammer 40,000.
There are pilots that can fall between these extremes such as conscripted civilians, venerated sacrifices, or artificial intelligences. Examples of these beings can be found in Mobile Suit Gundam, Gen:Lock, or, again, Warhammer 40k.
There's no wrong way to portray pilots. That being said, I'd love to read stories where pilots from across the spectrum interact with each other.

I am posting a lot today but what can I say, it's my rant day
And seeing the Internet's reaction as a whole towards Hazbin Hotel makes me wonder...
Do people even known what a PILOT is?
Because a lot of people seem to consider that a PILOT is supposed to be like... the entire show, done and finished. Do they not know that pilots usually have a different artstyle than the rest of the show ; or different voice actors or voice acting ; or that they can have different characterizations than from the rest of the series? Don't they know that a pilot is as much of a testing ground as the first episode of a series - IF it is a first episode, because for many series a pilot is not a first episode but an episode zero? Don't they know that sometimes pilots are NOT EVEN AIRED and can only be found on DVDs or when released online by the creators?
It just annoys me so much that people consider a pilot to be like... Episode 1 of a show. Especially on Hazbin Hotel, where the pilot and episode 1 are separated by four years, two different media and two different creating context. HAVEN'T PEOPLE SEEN THE GRAVITY FALLS PILOT? Imagine a world where people loudly complained that Gravity Falls was a bad show because they changed elements from the pilot...

i learned that research reveals that almost half of the pilots sleep in command of aircraft:
A study by Balpa, the British Pilots Association, found that 43% of professional pilots sleep during flights!
The research came after new aviation rules increased the number of hours worked by these professionals, which was soon rethought due to the study's findings.
29% of these pilots also admitted to taking a nap, and after waking up, they often found the co-pilot sleeping as well.
