6000pic,
I would agree that this is "BS" if it were as simple as Captains wear 4 stripes and F/Os wear 3 - I wish it were that straightforward!!
Unfortunately, the airline I work for does not seem to hold experienced F/Os who have been in the company for long time in particularly high regard and are not too interested in giving them the third stripe, which is why I am trying to collate as much info from other carriers to persuade them otherwise.
Keep the airline-specific stuff coming please.
Many thanks.
