[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.
