Fidel Castro's ashes began a four-day journey across Cuba on Wednesday from Havana to their final resting place in the eastern city of Santiago. A small, Cuban-flag covered cedar coffin containing the remains of the 90-year-old leader was taken out of Cuba's Defense Ministry just after 7am and placed into a flower-bedecked trailer pulled by a green military jeep for the more than 500-mile (800-kilometer) procession. The ashes will be interred Sunday, ending the nine-day mourning period for the man who ruled the country for nearly 50 years.

Lanceslot:Yea bro, that's why i said after everything. |
Similarities and Differences. Captain and co-pilot roles are very similar. They both require the same piloting skills and qualifications, although the captain is usually more experienced than the co-pilot. The primary difference is rank, the captain is the senior of the two, and he is accountable for the flight. The co-pilot reports to the captain and takes his orders from him. The captain's additional experience and responsibility means he will earn a higher salary than the co-pilot. The captain also gets to wear four stripes on his uniform, while the co-pilot has three.

CFCman:aiit sir, thanks. |
5. After everything, they escaped from the Fox River State Penitentiary, got to the airport and their plane took off without them. 'What do we do?' 'We run'
|
Duties of a Co-pilot. There are no flight tasks that the co-pilot, or first officer, cannot or does not do, although the captain will direct the co-pilot's responsibilities for each flight. Typically, the two share flight tasks, though the co-pilot might be responsible for working the communication radios and navigational computers. On longer flights, a co-pilot might assume command when the captain takes a scheduled break, or they may switch responsibilities for flying and other tasks on each leg of the flight. The co-pilot will also take command if the captain becomes ill or incapacitated.
|
Duties of a Captain. The captain is responsible for the flight, the crew, the passengers and the aircraft. He has to ensure that all necessary checks are made before, during and after the flight. Typically, this role is responsible for weather checks, safety checklists, flight planning and flying the plane to its destination. Pilots also report any issues or changes during flights, take note of communications from air traffic control personnel and adapt flight plans if required. The captain does not necessarily delegate only routine tasks to his co-pilot. The two tend to share all tasks, including flying the plane. In emergencies, the captain may hand over all routine tasks to the co-pilot while he manages the situation.
|
Always sitting right next to their pilot, copilots, also known as flight officers, assist the captain and play a crucial role in navigating a safe ride. Duties involve a little of everything from pre-flight planning to landing the aircraft. While the main concern is making the pilot's job easier it also means maximizing the pilot's level of situational awareness. They show up early, obtain weather briefings and split the airplane jobs with the pilot in regards to who does the flying and who takes on the other duties such as preparing the cabin and passengers for landing, radio communications and equipment setup, for example. Flight crews include a captain and at least one co-pilot. Pilots in both roles need to be capable of flying the aircraft and managing the flight. After all, if something happens to the captain, the co-pilot needs to take over. However, these roles are not exactly the same. The captain takes on more responsibility than his co-pilot, even though they share duties during the flight.

Few days back, a chartered plane, carrying top Brazilian football team Chapecoense, crashed, killing 76 people. The co-pilot, Sisy Arias was having her first flight "with passengers on board" when the plane crashed. Some people said she caused the crash, she's flying for the first time, she has no experience but she was sitting beside a captain. Experience or no experience, it doesn't stop a plane with fuel shortage or electrical failure from crashing.
