But I guess that is progressive for 1978. I'm actually a little impressed they did better than a single token female pilot. Although I do have to wonder how they thought a skin-tight see-through pressure suit would be a good idea for anyone.
(Female pilots are common and not worth mentioning in the 2003 version, of course. The nod to progressiveness comes in the form of unisex bathrooms and barracks, although only on military ships. And of course, we got the infamous towel scene, so the straight women--and gay men--got their fan service too.)
