Instead of his name on his uniform nametag, it literally said 'Captain'. I'm not making this up, though I wish I was.

Where do we get these people ?!?

I saw one wearing his hat every time he had to do an announcement.

If they overlook the large boards, I doubt they are reading name-tags.

I worked with a SPC Major, great fun was had when he promoted to E5. Also had a Deputy Justice on my department when I was working the streets. It happens, I’d bet on this being his last name before a vanity tag.

The whole name tag thing in general is kind of ridiculous, but mainline Skywest will do what mainline does.

No matter what it says on your shirt or how many bars are on your shoulder, you’ll always be “captain” to the public.
