It is a SHIP.
Technically pilots are responsible for navigation, on ships. The Captain is in charge and so on. Pilots do not get to be in charge, they simply control where the ship is going so it doesn't wreck.
Now, on an aircraft, the pilot is boss (this is a simplificatgion, as multi place aircraft can have senior officers in non flying positions). The question is, which form are we using here? In one, the pilot is an adjuct to movement, not command (which could explain Wash's neutrality), in the other he is boss. Either way, Wash ain't runnin anything.
