But, we do not say a plane has two co-pilots, but one pilot and one co-pilot. There the co-pilot is understood to be inferior. Where there are two co-owners, BOTH are co-owners, and the sense of "co-" includes a sense of equality (the thing being examined.)

But where there is a pilot and a co-pilot then the sense is one of inferior cooperation. The constant in both cases is "with" as I said and as I was attacked for saying.

The co-pilot is interesting because I remember a book and then a bumper sticker which said,"God is my co-pilot." Later somebody produced a sticker saying, "God's the pilot. I'm just the co-pilot."

So there the sense of "co-" was clearly one of inferiority.

God is my co-pilot." Later somebody produced a sticker saying, "God's the pilot. I'm just the co-pilot."

It has also been changed since:

"God is the pilot, I am not the co-pilot, I am the passenger."

But either one can and does fly the plane...And in reality, the Co-pilot has responsibilities that are just as important as the pilot's...

Otherwise they'd be called the main pilot and the lesser pilot... But alas, they are, co-pilots...

I think the co-pilot analogy breaks down immediately.

There’s NO Biblical justification for putting the autentic Mary in the cockpit AT ALL.

AT BEST one might Biblically guesstimate that she occasionally would serve coffee or tea to the cockpit as chief stewardess.
