What's in a title?

[Roomwithaview]

I don't care what they call me as long as they pay me like a NFL Quarterback, you know, just like the good ole days.

Should I start calling my lawyer friends counselor?

We call our JAG "counselor" all the time out of respect and because it sounds cool once in a while. I don't mind referring to retired guys as Capt out of respect. Do what feels right I say. To me it's more of professional courtesy vice an actual title that you went I school for like doctor/esquire or whatever.

My father is a retired Dr. He goes by his first name or Mr. One or two people in his retirement community refer to him as "Doc" occasionally, but that is about it.

- License Plate - "Captain 737-8"

- Mailbox - "Captain Y.K.W.

- Monogrammed Sweater / Towels/ Smoking Jacket - "Captain"

I've seen your car and mailbox, so I know this isn't true. Apparently, I haven't stayed at YKW Headquarters late enough to see the smoking jacket.

My first boss was a retired USN 06 who had been pre-selected as a CAG before he took a seven year detour to the Hanoi Hilton.

We both have uniforms in our closets with four stripes on the sleeves but it's really not the same thing.

I still address him as "Captain" or "sir". He calls me by my first name.

That's great. I refer to one of the guys I fly with who was a KC-135 Commander in Viet Nam as either Colonel or General depending on whether he's SIC or PIC on a given trip. He calls me Kev.

I preferred "Grand Moff."

Any airline pilot that calls himself captain or insists upon it is a colossal fcking douc-he*bag and needs to be repeatedly kicked in the d-ick so it is impossible for him to procreate and add more of his stupid fcking DNA to the world.

Won't work, he already knocked up a F/A when he was an F/O, but when he upgrades he will be able to afford alimony for 2 more wives and their kids, unless he is a regional guy, then he will live in his parents basement "apartment".
