Heard the other day that some other people qualified as captains, quite a few, in-fact I believe it does happen all the time. Didn't see any threads here celebrating the fact.
Maybe they weren't as deserving. Or is there just a touch of sycophantism going on here? Don't get me wrong, anybody who achieves the captains qualification has worked long and f@cking hard, and deserves praise. Just my cycnical mind I guess.......
