There is always such confusion over the term "Co-Captain" on this message board. The airline guys can't comprehend how two Captain-qualified, type-rated pilots could possibly get along without somebody being "the boss".
It's really simple. The company determines who PIC for the trip, day, or flight is. That person signs for the aircraft and there ya go.
tgab,
My decidedly better half recently pulled the plug on 27 years as a pilot including 11 at the only major airline she really wanted to work for. She wishes she had gone in a different direction long ago. It used to be a great career, now it's just a crappy job. She loved the people she worked with and she liked flying the jet. The rest sucked big time. If you actually enjoy FLYING, get over the notion of being another number at an airline and consider all segments of aviation. Pick the one that pays you what you're worth but lets you enjoy what you do. You may find that job doesn't include a dorky hat and Captain Steubing jacket.
