Default upside-down epaulettes

I may sound like an idiot here but what does intentionally wearing upside-down epaulettes signify

It's a rumor that new Mesaba pilots who fly "the 9" (CR-9, that is) are turning their epaulettes upside down to signify their "superiority." As far as I know it's just a rumor started by an internet message board to get people upset.

It means that I am cooler than you and that I fly a bigger plane than you for less pay!

I thought it was backwards not upside down since upside down would show the seam.

Oh well its dumb anyway.
