I would opt for "women pilots". ;-)

How about female pilots?

Good call Shane! ;-)

I only thought of that because I was recently asked if we should say 'Fifty woman teachers' or 'Fifty women teachers.

I told them 'Fifty female teachers' would be a better choice.

Compound nouns with people normally use the plural with men and women, but the singular with lady. ;-)

Drunks in bars are unlikely to make disparaging remarks about 'female drivers'. ;-)
