Nevermind, these debate are pointless.
Point taken. The thrust of my post was an FO is (or at least should be) a fully qualified crew member.
If we were to continue the FRIENDLY debate, to be a MASTER of of the trade, he/she must be the Master of the vessel. I, for example, have been the master of several aircraft under 125000, but as the FO of my current aircraft, I consider myself a journeyman.
Ultimately, the tradesmen terms do not fully translate into modern aviation. I only was trying to say an FO IS NOT a student pilot.
