Female, yes. There is Athena and Rigel in the pilot film. Pilots, yes. Athena flies Adama's shuttle back from the meeting on the
Atlantia. She's just not rated on a Viper, hence her need to train in one. After all, Apollo says they lost alot of qualified people at Carillon. Sheba may have served on the
Pegasus, or some other ship in the 5th Fleet in another capacity, and then qualified as a pilot, to fill a gap. I would gather that most pilots were men as a matter of course, and the trainees in LPOTG happened to be female due to conditions.
And the execs at ABC.
