Line up all the pilots at a starting line. Put several aircraft of each type several hundred yards away in decending size order: 747, 777, 330 etc. On the word "Go," start running. Everyone who makes it to a seat on the left side of a plane is a captain, you get a seat on the right, FO. Anyone running for a building will be shot by snipers because they'll be considered managment wannabes.
