Having been a ground pounder, then an aircrewman during the 1980s, my
experience with the term is limited. As jet mechs, we called the "pretty
boys"
in flight suits that never had to stand a watch or get dirty by the
negative
term "fly boys". Later, when it was my time in the flightsuit,
periodically I
would be approached by women that used the term with much greater
affection and
appreciation. I think that the term can be used like almost every other
term,
either positively or negatively.
