... The OO captain I saw this morning at SFO.

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 ?!?

Maybe someone played a prank and swapped it out without him paying attention

I’d probably do it too if every other gate agent/ramper/fuel guy walked straight past me with four bars to talk to the male FO. (I’m a male FO, it happens at least half the time with female captains).

It’s frugal. The generic nametag has greater resale value when you retire.

It is kinda funny.
I bothered to read on once and it said "Striker". It took me time but I chuckled on the way out.
