"A commander is responsible for mission success, and safety of crew, passengers, and aircraft.
A captain can be a head waiter in a restaurant."
Funny, then, how in all airline stories I've read always refer to "Captain So and so" rather than "Commander So and so..." Commander sounds like some kind of Star Trek fantasy.
Did not know it was strictly a UK thing.
Yes, I'm bored. Time to shake things up a bit. What better way than to make fun of Yank/British terms?
