I don't call myself Captain.

That's what I'm putting on my business cards.
For short, you can refer to me as the Lord.

Guys...does it matter?
If you're assigned as the PIC, you're the PIC. Whether they call you "Captain", "Sir", "PIC", "Pilot", "Yo", "Dude" or "Hey You", it really doesn't matter. You're still the PIC.

I had a TSA guy yesterday call me "captain". I quickly told him that he is never to refer to me as that. He is to call me Supreme-Master of the Universe-Admiral-Commandant-Lord-Baron von Minitour. And don't you be forgetting it!
-Lord
+1, really who cares?
Are you asking if there are 2 people who are qualified as captain? Alot of 135 outfits have two people PIC typed and qualified but just one acts as captain on a leg/trip/whatever. One is designated PIC and the other SIC. Its a joke at our company to tease the guy who "plays" captain because that means they have to do all the paper work.
