Taking it out of the emergency chasing-a-terrorist situation here, I
can't really
figure out what halachik issue there could possibly be to have a female
pilot fly you around anyway. Yichud doesn't make sense. Maybe negiya if
you're pressed up close, which would possibly apply to a medic or another
soldier in your platoon, but not to a pilot, but then, if the medic is
working on you, it's probably ok anyway.

Maybe just pure concerns for hirhurim, but then you would really
expect soldiers
on a mission to be focused on the mission. Or maybe with all the testosterone
from in-the-heat battle it would be a bigger concern than normal?

Kol Tuv,
