Ok, new topic.
Go ahead you all, pick the crew for the first CST-100 flight, and we will see who's right in a few months

I bet that the Boeing crewmember will be Chris Ferguson and that the NASA crewmember will be Mike Fincke.

You may want to provide a list of potential boeing and NASA astronauts...

Chris Ferguson seems like a pretty popular choice for the Boeing guy on here, I just don't see any real reason why. If he wanted to fly in space again he'd have stayed with NASA.
I think Mike Fincke's a decent candidate for the NASA astronaut (either CST-100 or the first Dragon flight) as he's one of the astronauts in the Exploration Branch of the Astronaut Office that supports Commercial Crew per his bio.

I seriously doubt he's well enough these days. And even if he were - he's nearly 85.

Chris Ferguson (Boeing) and Doug Hurley (NASA), since both are already familiar with each other's working practices since they flew as CDR and PLT on STS-135. Also good for PR - last shuttle pilots flying together on new vehicle, etc.

He is a former NASA astronaut working, now the director of Crew and Mission Operations for Boeing's CST-100. I can think of few other Boeing employees nearly as qualified to fly as the corporate astronaut.
I would expect an experienced shuttle commander/two time pilot for the NASA choice. I'll go with George Zamka.

Probably should be in the Commercial Crew section, but hey it was started by a mod
Chris Ferguson and I also think Mike Fincke.

I got to talk to Doug Hurley late last year and he said he is one of the astronauts being considered for the test flight on either CST-100 or Dragon

Chris Ferguson and Cady Coleman. I don't think that will be the crew, but I'd love that. Doug Hurley would be my actual guess.

I think some of this just depends on what Astronauts are focused on CST-100 versus Dragon. Does anyone here have an idea of that?

generic for now. Only Ferguson works for Boeing. Some companies may decided to not have company astronauts onboard.
