Designations

When I did the Army Pilot course the offical designation was "Driver Airframe" although we were referred to as pilots.

I don't mind the Captain handle but I certainly don't insist on it. Perhaps there is an element of inverted snobbery due to the fact that I was a Sergeant pilot ? As long as I'm paid people can call me Deputy Assistant to the Assistant Deputy Cockroach Crusher for all I care !!

Bristow overseas operations used to have a rule (no doubt invented by engineers) forbidding "bars in the bar" but it seems to have gone by the board these days.
