Because I could! Just curious why some threads and comments and people can do and say and post one thing and others cant. That is all. Basic curiosity.

captain
Word History
Date of Origin 14th c.
Etymologically, a captain is someone who is at the ‘head’ of an organization, team, etc. It derives ultimately from late Latin capitāneus ‘chief’, a derivative of caput ‘head’, which came to English via Old French capitain. A parallel but earlier formation was chieftain, which also came from late Latin capitāneus, but along a different route, by way of Old French chevetaine.

An airplane, with some exceptions, is not a bus.....although it's been dumbed down to that point by trailer trash fares over the last 20 years. I think the answer (and I know you didn't mean it seriously) is the level of professional training it takes to attain the status. After all, my dad didn't spend eight years in medical school to be called mister, the same could be said for airline pilots....or not.
What do you call a guy who drives an Airbus?
