The other day in the crew-lounge I heard another FO refer to us as co-pilots too and I wanted to slap him LoL what a tool!!
We're still Co-pilots in the military, I catch myself saying "Checked Co-pilot" all the time...would you slap me toolface? Sometimes I even refer to the Flight Deck as the "Cockpit." (*Gasp*) Even if someone wasn't in the military, Co-Pilot was the name of the position for half a century, it is what it is.
You obviously have a superiority complex that you haven't earned yet.
