FWIW; the four airlines I have flown for designated a junior F/O with two stripes, a senior F/O with three, and a Captain with four. We never had flight engineers. (Cadets at flight school can have one stripe).
Thanks for the response Uplinker.and Cessnapete,
As I stated in my previous post, in the U.S. we haven’t had crew members who wear two-stripes for decades now. . One learns something new each day! BTW, I am a pilot, since 1983, much to Atlantic Explorers disbelief.
