Well River and Mal seem perfectly capable of doing the flying, and since Annara is most likely staying on serenity and can fly I expect they will think of some sort of rota system of who gets to fly.

If I remember correctly Mal isnt perticulary good at flying. And the end scene of BDM gives me the impression that River will atleast be helping him pilot in the future.
And if they would hire a new pilot, well I wouldnt say no to the job
But on a more realistic level I think that I could see Rodney Rowland or James Marsters playing a Pilot onboard Serenity.

I've applied for the job, but I don't know if I'll get it.

Might have a personality clash with Mal.

I think they should keep river as the pilot. there could be some great scenes with river flying all crazy or "how the hell did we get here from there" looks from mal, especially with all rivers crazy math skills

"And I think calling him that is an insult to the psychotic lowlife community."

I think milford's right about the crew being parsed down.

However, it doesn't mean I'm any less bummed about Wash.

I just finished watching Serenity for the first time about an hour ago, and I about wanted to cry when Wash died, he was my favorite!

Ah, Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

I beleave Mal already made his choice at the end of the movie with his talk to River. He was obviously handing over the pilots seat to her. My impression is River will get healthier as time passes and learns to deal with her brain damage.

As for the show continuing I suspect they will move past Serenity and start a new ship and crew. May keep one or two of the originals to draw us fans to watch, but the series has ended and they will sweep the decks of the past.

I could see Inara remaining since she is typically not a participant in their exploits, "crimes". Who else may make it into future episodes would only be my wishful desires and that would be Kaylee who only sees the good in people. The rest would be killed off to prevent any idea of their return. Wash and Book are gone and we must carry on.

I think they should get a new guy...goes River nealry crashed Mal's boat when she goes insane again for a brief time (thanks to the hands of Blue, i don't know). But yeah some-one who isn't a "Replacement Wash" (perhaps an ex-fighter pilot).

Either that or Adam just turns up to work randomly, and Joss decides to "work with it"

Okay, I have to put my 2 cents worth in.
First I think we have to think long term, at least one season (another movie would have to go in a different direction but we'll get to that another time).
So, here are my thoughts:
The series picks up some months later. The Alliance is spread thin as people are leaving the core planets to the outer rim since the broadcast in "Serenity". With all these new people on the frontier needing things moved, stolen, swapped etc., Serenity's crew are busier than ever. They have made enough money to even get a little "cabin" on an isolated moon for a hideout.
River has been flying Serenity and has been tinkering with her controls, automating systems, upgrading navigation and so on (think more thrilling aeorbatics). The crew has begun to drop their guard regarding the Alliance and their persuit of River. Unknow to them, the Alliance has exhumed Wash's body and cloned him so they could torture him for information.
I know you anti-clone guys are spitting but bear with me.
Since clone-Wash really has no idea how to find Mal, Blue Moon decides to ransom Wash to draw Mal and River out. Chaos ensues and they get Wash back. Figure 2 or 3 episodes to play out.
Questions arise about spying, implants and whatever to keep some tension going between Wash and Zoe.
Either way, flying is a full-time job and River can back Wash up and still kick ass when needed, Wash can get beat up some more and still quip away. I think it would work.

Never ask for change when paying off a ransom.
