{tob} "test" and {'or} "pilot" = "test pilot"? There is a classic movie
(starring Clark Gable) named "Test Pilot", but I can find no connection to
anyone named "Jill".

Probably a reference to "Apple Corps", the company established by The
Beatles. One of their business ventures was "Apple Tailoring Civil and
Theatrical" which made clothes for both theatrical productions and
"civilians".

Maybe Charles Lederer, the film director? (Okrand does like his movie
references. But there are so many "Charles".)
