Yea, I always thought Captain was not just a two pilot crew, but an airline two pilot crew. If you don't sign a flight release for a 135 or 121 airliner as PIC- you are not a captain! I was not a "captain" on the corporate aircraft or GA aircraft I flew; I was the PIC. I think people throw the term "captain" around too much.
