We need an alternative word for copilot (the profession) because thanks to Microsoft I want to throw up as soon as I hear/see the word "Copilot"

@volpeon First officer?

@forst Yes. "Copilot" isn't a job title (at least in aviation).

Fact: it's possible to have two captains on an airplane, working in the same cockpit to operate the same airplane at the same time. It's not all that common, but it *does* happen.

(They do have to decide who is pilot in command, as well as who is pilot flying and pilot monitoring respectively.)

You can also have a working cockpit crew without any captain. Happens on long haul flights with a single relief first officer.
