Definition
机师 refers to a professional who operates or maintains machinery. In modern usage, it commonly means an airplane pilot (飞行员) or a mechanical engineer working with engines and machinery (not to be confused with 工程师, which covers engineering in general). The context usually makes the sense clear — aviation settings mean pilot, industrial or maritime settings mean mechanical engineer.
