Note repeated use of the word 'Captain'. Is this to avoid using the word 'she'? It should not matter so the language is ridiculous and forced.
No, it's to specify to which of the two people in the pointy end one is referring. The captain is the one ultimately responsible for the safe conduct of the flight. I couldn't care less if the captain is female. Like most everyone else, I've flown with great captains, and some not so great - both male and female. And I never found it ridiculous to call the captain, "Captain"
