Festooning arguably the most functional jacket we have ever had with some sort of decoration to indicate his 'rank' is just silly (as are our costumes in general).
Cubicle commandos. Gotta love 'em.
If you're not the captain, you must be the FO. If you're not the FO, you must be the Captain, unless you're an RFO. It's not like we salute each other when grabbing the folder at the computer.
Most ridiculous reason to get rid of the parka I've ever heard. I agree, the parka is the best/ most useful jacket/coat we have.
