Why Captain?
I cannot help but notice the jerks in our small industry that call themselves "Captain". I've seen it on letters, business cards, you name it. Whatever happened to Mr?
I have flown in the military and have various civil ratings, including 412 and 332, but I wouldn't dream of using such a title.
Whilst most of us act in a professional manner and have huge amounts of responsibility, pilots in general are uneducated, usually without tertiary qualifications and have rarely finished secondary school.
For the jerks out there that feel that they need to hide behind a title, I bet you couldn't captain a girls netball team! Remember, a bus driver also wears 4 stripes! But then again, we are just glorified bus drivers!
