When an airline pilot asks if there is a doctor on board, they are looking for a medical doctor, not someone with a doctorate in history, law, economics, chemistry, or physics.
I think this is uncalled for. Dr. is the official title of someone with a PhD. How is it misleading? It's not like they are trying to pass themselves off as medical doctors like their degrees are just lower versions of MDs.
