There are two things on this forum that piss me off;
Idiots and group invites.
What's even worse, is that I can never seem to get away from either of them ¬_¬

I don't think so, ODST's are not really much of pilots, and if they were gonna fly in they would of flew in not dropped it. Just what I think, but I could be completlly wrong.
Uhm.. yes.
ODSTs have better and more advanced training than Marines and even they can fly a Hornet. Basic flight training.
As for your point that they wouldn't bother dropping in, tell me this: Which is faster:
A drop pod that is ready from the word go and allows lightning fast insertion times.
Or a pelican which needs to be readied, checked, the hanger bay doors opened and then flown through the atmousphere at a speed slightly faster than a Warthog.
It's all about speed. Plus, a drop pod can get behind enemy lines with ease. A Pelican ain't quite as good at that they tend to... well, get shot down. And everyone inside dies.
