Pilot without passengers

When you go to a club or party to try and pick up girls. You act cool and calm but have no luck and come home empty handed. You come home a "pilot without passengers"

" Hey I heard you went to that new club yesterday did you pick up anyone."
"No I was a pilot without passengers"

Satellite pilot

Any senior member of a company that keeps their job and/or gets promoted by taking credit for successes that would have happened regardless of their presence. Typically these people are found in companies where all the hard work has been done and the company now makes money automatically no matter what anyone does. Just like once all the hard work of getting a satellite in orbit is done it will usually stay in orbit. The only real task of the satellite pilot is to not do anything truly stupid AKA knock the satellite out orbit.

Despite us being only one of 4 oligopoly energy suppliers our CEO just got a $5 million bonus for last years performance when. He's such a satellite pilot.

Our head of HR is the biggest satellite pilot I've ever seen.

Princess Pilot

A "Princess Pilot" is a term used in aviation slang to describe a pilot who prefers to fly only in ideal weather conditions (VFR, clear skies) and typically operates high-performance, modern, and well-equipped aircraft—often featuring glass cockpits, autopilot, and cruise speeds above 140 knots. This pilot tends to avoid challenging conditions such as turbulence, IMC, or older, less luxurious aircraft.

The term can imply a degree of selectiveness, inexperience, or aversion to adversity, and is sometimes used with a humorous or lightly critical tone within pilot communities.

Dillon C. is a Princess Pilot who will only fly on very clear days.
