5-Strpier

A story in the Daily Mail today caught my eye, not for the usual crass subject matter or the reporting inaccuracies but for the picture of the shirt of a captain who was reportedly taking a nap in First Class across the pond.

The pilot in question appers to have 5-stripes which I have never seen before, but I assume dentoes a training captain?

Is this commonplace nowadays and does anyone know how long it has been practice?

Edit: for some reason I can't edit the obvious typo in the title!
