Collective noun for three or more pilots

I was on the final leg of my Thanksgiving Mileage Run (SEA-MSP-DTW-LAX-DTW-SEA)and had been upgraded. In the cabin were no less than three NW pilots and another one in the jump seat of the cockpit. I commented to the pilot sitting next to me that I had never collectively encountered four pilot passengers in first before. I asked him what the collective noun for pilots is? He looked skyward! I suggested..... a deck of pilots, a flight of pilots, and my personal favorite a stack of pilots.

Anyone got any more suggestions?
