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.
