For someone who is a probationary pruner with just three posts under your belt since joining this forum this month, you certainly have cojones to bad mouth the very group you want to be a part of. So, in your exalted opinion, someone with more "education" can call themselves captain but not otherwise? Oh yes, since when did training for, and receiving, a professional license and maintaining it for years and years not count as education? No wonder helicopter pilots are under compensated throughout the world. It is because of opinions like yours.
I know what everyone wants to say to you and are keeping quiet because they are professionals.But I will show no such restraint.
You are a
!!
BTW, I do not call myself Captain ,since I am in a single pilot operation and it would be pompous to do so. But I do have a couple of degrees and what's more, respect for people regardless of their education. That's a whole lot more than what you have.
