Vince,
To follow up on a message I sent you about an hour ago. I sent an email to a friend (Jay Apt) who did four shuttle missions. In his reply he said that the commander of the shuttle sits in the left front seat and physcially flies the spacecraft on descent and landing. The "pilot" sits in the right seat and is effectively the copilot. (Sounds like an "interesting" way of naming the positions to me.) All the best, Rick
