I once heard a guy tell it, that if the a/c always needs 2 crew, its Capt/Fo, if its flown single pilot but has second pilot for IFR only, or certain contracts than its pilot/co-pilot. oh yeah he was explaing it to a chick in a bar.
No longer ready2move, doin just fine right here.

Some of you guys would get a real hard on if you were flying in Britian because they call the pilot "the Aircraft Commander" over there.
Who really cares what you are known as as long as the pay is what you want.

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no
After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

Yeh, but there is a downside to that description.
Even a Cessna 150 pilot is refeered to as "The Aircraft Commander " I get a real charge out of that when reading their accident reports.
Can you imagine the impression you could make in a bar with some young innocent female using that description of yourself? especially if she likes a little discipline???
Sounds real macho...
