طيار آمر - طيار أول
Explanation:


Command Pilot
15-18 years
Command pilots lead a squadron, flight operations group, or command an air facility. They direct flight operations of a major flying unit and advise headquarters commanders on squadron operations. They continue to fly missions to maintain expert flying skills.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flight Leader
9-11 years
Flight leaders command several airplanes on flying missions, such as air strikes, patrols, or transporting cargo. They manage combat missions, planning target selections and personnel utilization as well as a squadron department, such as maintenance, training, or safety. They also instruct pilots in squadron missions and tactics and evaluate pilots’ flying, leadership, and management skills.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Senior Pilot
4 years
Senior pilots plan and fly operational missions, fly as first pilot in large airplanes, and lead flights of two or more aircraft on missions. They also instruct new pilots and explain mission plans and assignments to flight crews.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pilot

Pilots plan flights, considering weather, fuel, and aircraft loading. They also participate in planning missions and tactics. They may fly missions alone, as part of a group of airplanes, or as copilot in a large airplane.

They are not the same


Explanation:
In the modern military, Army and Air Force Aviator Badges are issued in the degrees of Basic, Senior, and Master. The degrees are denoted by a star and wreath above the badge. The Naval Aviator Badge is issued in a single degree for the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard.


By observing each badge in the reference below, you will notice they are not the same.

Just a guess!


Explanation:
senior pilot : captain: the pilot in charge of an airship.
الطيار المسؤول أو المتقاعد

and Command Pilot: الطيار الذي يصدر الأوامر
أو قائد الطائرة

I am just guessing and trying to help :)

But like HebatALLAH said..they differ :)
