How far can the Pilot fly, and can he pick up a pawn in a city he passes over?

The designer confirmed the three-connection range and the skipping behaviour in several threads.

The Pilot may fly to any city within 3 connections, including cities only 1 or 2 steps away, but never 4 or more. He skips the cities in between, so he is never in them: he cannot collect a pawn from one, and effects that trigger on entering a city (such as the Containment Specialist's) only apply to the city he lands in.
