In the USA, generally:

4 stripes = Captain

3 stripes = First Officer (copilot)

3 stripes = pilot-rated Flight Engineer(second officer).... (some places: P.F.E's also)

2 stripes = non-pilot Flight Engineer (PFE) ....(& some places: Mechanics also)

1 stripe = non-cockpit types - loadmaster/mechanic/F.A., etc (rare)
