航空公司中的 Captain 可称为机长/机师。

高级机长
Explanation:
Senior captain simply means the pilot is more experienced and has been promoted to a position of senior captain, however this does not mean they are the 'chief' captain. A 总 机长/机师 would be a chief captain, i.e. even higher than the 'senior captain'

by the way, 机长 is usually called \'pilot\' and not captain,
