Another thread going nowhere----
At Cathay there are plenty of ex big jet co pilots and generally smaller jet/turboprop etc captains that are now sitting as ONE bar second officers. And at Air Mauritius I noticed the other day the male stewards wear full wings ( not half wing as is usual with cabin crew ) and up to THREE bars on their shoulders in white pilot shirts...
So who the f.. cares except a few clowns over here on my favourite rumour network..
