I'm Moya!

I put "the Pilot", as "The Pilot" is not the character name. However, if it is in reference to the show I think it is, it would be only "Pilot" with out "the" because that is what the character IS named on the Henson site, and he's referred to as simply "Pilot" in the show.
If it is not that show, then I still would capitalise "Pilot" in the case of title/rank, if there is no "Captain" on board, then "the Pilot" would be a valid title/ rank.

Oh, yes - I'd forgotten Farscape. If it's Farscape, I'd use just Pilot, like a given name.

I thought Farscape too.
