I’m not a sailor because I go on a cruise and no one is an astronaut just because they took a joy ride in a suborbital rocket. A far as I’m concerned, you don’t deserve such titles unless you do it for a living.

I also agree with this thinking. I was a locomotive engineer for a passenger railroad and many of the guys thought they were really something special. In reality, running a 10 or 12 car passenger train is waaaaay different form running a mile or so long freight train through the mountains. Most passenger guys would tear that freight train apart. Myself included. Same title but still apples and oranges.
