"... I have a huge personal stake in the safety and timelieness of the flight ..."

Absolutely. I didn't mean to imply otherwise in my post above.

"... This particular guy used to introduce himself as Captain ..."

Sounds more like a Rear Admiral to me.

All semantics- I am a woman. And a captain.

Oh, and I like to be referred to as 'your highness' or 'high priestess.'

Simple.

You could always go by "your airworthiness" or "your airwomenship".

Those are very big words for my copilot. But such a nice boy.

I don't think an ASRS report can be used against you. If what you reported was an intentional violation, then filing the ASRS report won't protect you, but it shouldn't hurt you either.

As for "my copilot" I tend to use "the other guy." A pilot I used to fly with years ago shortened that to "TOG" which didn't make the guys he flew with very happy.

Well if the guy *IS* a Captain in his own right I think he deserves the respect accorded by the title and position. If he is a Captain then he is a Captain. It's all semantics I guess. If I say, "Here is my Captain" then that makes me an F/O. If I say, "Here is my co-pilot," I am not sure if that makes him an equal or a subordinate. So "co-Captain" is probably the best thing to say.

Gawd how did this thread get so far afield?
