Danish term or phrase: fast lods
I have found this phrase (occupation) in many records of Copenhagen. I know a "lods" is a ship's pilot. Does the "fast" simply indicate he was an "established" ship's pilot? Or is there a more specific meaning? In the example I have from 1890, a 55-year-old man is a "fast lods" and a 35-year-old coworker was an "extra lods."

In December 1960 Ted was appointed a junior pilot in The Port of Newcastle and went on to gain his pilot’s licence in Eden, Port Kembla, and Sydney ports, which also included the Port of Botany as this was then part of the Sydney licence. At that time he was the only pilot to hold all 4 licences. Ted gained his permanent position as a Sydney pilot in 1964 which made him the second youngest permanent pilot appointed in Sydney to the service.
