Shadwell, you really should know better! Especially an old and crusty AEO, sorry WSO, like yourself. Everyone knows you guys are the mission commanders really, and not the aircraft captains in the real piloting sense of the word.
I know you take it very seriously and that you are particularly polished at cod fishing, but don't ever doubt who is actually in control of that nimrod that you've been a passenger in for all those years. Dare I say, walking freight; with access to a dimmer switch (which is probably u/s). Who's coat is that jacket?
Tell us another sea shanty old man, aaaar!
