*nod* Yeah - that's the sort of naval tradition thingy that I was hinting at, but not very well.
As an additional asside; to avoid confusion, a Captain in the Marines is often not referred to as a Captain, to avoid confusion with the Captain. They're bumped up a grade, and referred to as "Major" instead.
With Rebel starfighter ranks though, that'd get weird, because Commander comes before Major. I guess - in the instance of Jaden Luka, once he's flying full-time as Rogue One - they would refer to him as "Commander" to avoid confusion with the Captain... in that he's a Squadron Commander?
I dunno. Stupid military traditions.
