Usage notes
- Use equipaggio for the whole crew of a ship, plane, or spacecraft; for a sports team, use squadra, not equipaggio.
- It is a collective noun: singular after articles and verbs, even when referring to several people.
- For cabin crew specifically, Italian often says personale di bordo; equipaggio is broader and includes all crew members.
