cjpilot, that's only because you are a jealous copilot.
I once went to a travel clinic in Montréal during winter and saw someone from Garda, a private security firm. The man looked like having very broad shoulders.
Then I remarked his 4 bulky stripes on his coat.
He removed his coat which showed another set of 4 bulky stripes on his sweater.
He remover his sweater which showed another set of 4 bulky stripes on his shirts.
His shoulders were not that broad anymore

Quite the contrary actually.
IMHO stripes in the right seat are just as ridiculous as stripes in the left seat. Contrary to popular belief, the presence of stripes on one's shirt has no correlating effect on aircraft performance.

NO...but it does make a huge difference in the way flight crews are treated by government authorities in many countries around the world.

I think TG was being funny with the jealous part.
Re: epaulets - At a large airport in West Africa, the handler told me I wasn't allowed to be airside unless I had bars on my flight suit, so yeah, they do have their place!

Huh !?
First I wish I could fill up my cart full of food and I can't because I'm on standby to start a couple of weeks rotation.
Second, if I see someone using the self-serve checkouts with a cart full of food I'll go to the next one.
And about the 2 miles from the airport on downwind,
I'm sure this guy need it

The last time I saw a 104 enter the circuit he did an overhead break and it was at Namao. There is a guy at our strip with an L-39 and his downwind is NEVER more than 1/2 a mile out.
