What do you call the person who flies the plane?

[Edit]

Pilot

However, most airlines prefer the terms

Captain -- instead of pilot

First Officer -- instead of co-pilot

Also, today the term Flight Attendant replaces the old term Stewardess(female) or Steward(male).

Answer

The correct term is Aviator (Aviation operator). In many countries it has been substituted in common usage by the word "pilot" which is used for the operator of any vehicle.
