i want to know.. what do the stripes on a pilots shoulder mean? is it your ranking.. and how can you find out what ranking a pilot is by looking at them? or can you? well it is something i have always wanted to know.

Yes the stripes on a pilot’s shoulder does show their ranking. It’s different for every airline, but generally…4 stripes = captain, 3 stripes = co-pilot or first officer, 2 stripes = second officer, 1 stripe = pilot in training.

Some airlines have half stripes too!
For example, at Cathay Pacific Airways (which is an airline from Hong Kong), their captains have 4 stripes, senior first officer-relief commander = 3 stripes, first officer = 2 and a half stripes (two thick stripes with one thinner one in between), junior first officer = 2 stripes, and second officer (relief pilot) = 1 stripe.

So it’s different for every airline, but for sure 4 stripes = captain, 3 stripes = first officer/co-pilot.
