Mr Travolta has a PPL with SIC privileges on the B707. As a private pilot he may not have fare paying passengers. Indeed quotes such as “he piloted his B707…” is incorrect. Typically he will have a crew flying for him, including PIC, and John himself will at most only assume SIC duties. I would assume that his 4 Captains’ stripes on his uniform indicate his status as honourary Captain for Quantas and actually has nothing to do with whether or not he is a qualified and rated 4-liner.

PS: Good one Beachy! I don't think JT even has a driver's licence - always seems to be a passenger.
