Don't take this wrong but you sound like you really need the 4th stripe so everyone can see. I get it, you're a new captain and it's exciting but no one cares. The public doesn't have an idea what 4 stripes means. Your coworkers don't care either. Your name is on the release as PIC. The responsibility that comes with it is what matters. Oh and just make sure they pay you right when you finish upgrade.
