I'd love to have the option of hiring crew members for jobs other than fighter pilot. Maybe they could offer little perks/buffs to skills specific to certain types of missions, like a Flight Hostess who keeps passengers happy longer, or a Mining Expert who gives you higher ore yields, or Navigation Officers who add a couple of light years to your jump range... that sort of thing.
Here's a little mockup to illustrate.
