my mom used to crew on hot air balloons (sometimes on the Disney Mickey Mouse ballon) and all i remember them called are pilot, co pilot, crew chief, crew , and ground crew, and ballonists as a whole - but it does seem to me i have heard somewhere in the distant past a special term for ballon pilots, i think a french term, but i cant recall what it was
