jet pilot
Supersonic aircraft operator
A jet pilot is someone who flies jet-powered aircraft, as distinguished from propeller-driven planes.
The term typically refers to military fighter pilots or commercial airline pilots: She trained as a jet pilot in the Air Force.
Jet pilot carries connotations of skill, speed, and glamour that plain "pilot" lacks.
