sky pilot

A sky-pilot is an ancient and honorable calling, but not for me.

I'd been there before to bring out a man or a woman or a girl as the case might be, and was pretty well known as "Sky-Pilot Dan."

All of us have deep in our hearts love, veneration and respect for the sky-pilot—chaplain, if you would rather call him so.

But call him "sky-pilot" and he starts up like Macbeth at the ghost of Banquo, exclaiming "Come in any other form but that!"
