I flew for a company where I was dual qualified to fly two different types. Long story short after a solid night of drinking with the guys and the wives and bragging about being dual qualified one of the wives sewd a 5th strip on all of our epaulettes in which we wore for years.

lol I love the ball caps! They look like they picked some pilots up from a ball game and thew uniforms on them.

the reason they have flowers pinned on them...It’s because once they land they have to rush to their second gig as a clown making balloon animals.

Where do you even buy eight stripe epaulets? That rank must be somewhere between Fleet Admiral and Commander of the World.

Scientology. Once you get to level 8, they say you can fly. They are big into naval stuff and substandard wages.

They’re not actually 8 stripes. The gold stripes have a black line through the middle giving the appearance of 8 stripes. It’s a terrible design. No, I don’t work for Avelo.
