flightcrew
Pilots and attendants
The flightcrew are the personnel who operate an aircraft—pilots, copilots, flight engineers, and navigators.
The term sometimes extends to cabin crew (flight attendants), though airlines often distinguish between cockpit crew and cabin crew.
The flightcrew completed their preflight checklist.
