As an old Captain once told me: "They tell you how many marriages the pilot has had."

Wow, that collaboration was very well incorporated into the video. One of the rare occasions where the sponsor actually makes for a better video, props for that!

You definitely have to get in touch with Stella. Stella has a good flight attendant KZfaq page. She has collaborated with Kelsey at 74 gear. Her attitude and big smile is infectious, I don’t know if you can keep up with her.

I am a private pilot. I am the captain, the first and second officer and on occasion the flight attendant. My only distinction is the left seat. 😆

Up until late 90s some ground handling companies had uniform for its dispatchers "red cap and long black jacket" so others knew who they were and role and why dispatchers used to be known as red caps Great video Joe

"The good old days were flightdecks had no doors" - I remember the 1990th flying in Germany in smaller planes - also no doors. So my college looked into the flightdeck. After the flight he asked the pilot what the red light in the indicator panel was. "That's overspeed warning. But that old plane is always kept pushing" 🤣 Doors may not only have one purpose 😉

Hi Joe, in most of the Spanish airlines, the Captains have the 4 stripes and the star (all of us) like Vueling, Iberia Group and Air Europa

I'm from Saudi Arabia and I have seen some captains had a star on their sleeves in Saudia Airline. I got curious as I haven't seen such insignia so I asked the captain and he said that he is a senior captain. However, he then added that some of the captains who have the star insignia are chief pilot of the airline. Both senior captains and chief pilots are rarely seen around but they are there. P.S. Another great video Captain Joe!! Keep it up :)

Good evening Captain Joe. Just wanted to let you know that I was able to board a real Concorde today. It was in Seattle at The History of Aviation Museum. What a stunning airplane. I never thought I would be able to get to see one in person let alone board it. I can only imagine your perspective as a pilot wanting to fly one these beauties of the sky as mine is just to see one. All the best!

That was very cool!! I knew what the stripes meant for the most part -- 3 versus 4, for instance, but the little nuances were interesting to learn!! Thanks for another great and informative video, Captain Joe!! God bless you and keep you safe in the skies!! 💕✈✈💕

I love your content !! Thank you very much and keep it up you.. you are a champ 😁

Well done! I've read about everything I can find on Pan Am and I'm glad you gave them credit for this. They were such an innovative airline.

I’m so glad your back…got my first flight on a Dreamliner booked for next month and will be reading a very good book, some KZfaqr wrote on that flight! BA use silver stripes for some captains I think and laurel leaf on caps as a sign of seniority too

Wow! I learnt something new today! Keep up the good work!

I used to get more airtime than some pilots did. I flew an average of 20 flights a week at one point. But that included more commuter planes than main line jets. And Northwest was my choice of airline and where I had my FF miles. In the late 80's early 90's I can remember being the only passenger on the commuter from Indy to Detroit City. The pilots would sometimes invite me up to the flight deck and let me sit in the fold down seat. Like you said, those days are gone forever. Those pilots were all less than 2 years senior. Many flights had two 2-stripers for pilots. Also when you're the only passenger with 20-ish year old pilots, normal flight parameters were ignored. They would bank 30° and hand fly it like a fighter plane. Kids being kids.

Thank you for sharing this about the stripes and what they mean I have never seen a star on a captain’s jacket before

That suit looks great on you! Thanks for sharing this video; it was a lot of fun!

Thanks Joe. Realised that I'd never thought about the WWI pilot chart pockets. Great info about the flying planes leading to the Pan Am pilot uniform as well :)

I do know some airlines that have stripes and stars for captains, PIA I believe literally issue all their captains with 4 stripes and a star, Malaysia Airlines captains that have a star shows that they are a management pilot, Emirates captains that have stars I believe are at the rank of senior training captains and above, Aeromexico captains with stars I believe indicates that the captain flies long haul transoceanic routes I believe EgyptAir also has captains with stars however I'm not really sure what they represent .

That's an awesome uniform Joe and what a great way to tie a sponsor into a video. Highly informative and entertaining. Working in the Maritime industry we have similar deal, 4 stripes for captain and less down the ranks however sometimes it gets pretty casual and you lose the shirt after leaving the dock (management don't come to sea).

A brilliant video - the sequences from the tailor and how they cut the fabric are fascinating. And I must congratulate you on your choice of lining :)

Captain Joe, I was listening to liveatc at JFK on the early morning hours of March 25th. I heard a Cargolux pilot speaking with ATC who sounded very much like you!! Your voice was fresh in my mind from this video -- lol!! That would be really cool if I actually 'heard you in action'!! 😉😉

Thank you Captain for another great video!!!!

One of the best product placements/adds on KZfaq. Perfectly fitted in the video

Interesting to see Kuhn has shops all over Germany and VIE, but their promo video material is shot in Maastricht, the Netherlands! That uniform looks excellent, First officer Joseph

Great video, thanks for teching us something new

I really loved this video, I have been following Joe since 2017, I have been a big fan of his since he was flying for AirBerlin wow, its been 5 years already

Thanks for sharing your newest video, A BIG THANKS YOU!!

Very informative video Capt. Really enjoyed the video. Hope to see more like this soon.

Excellent, the video is very informative providing knowledge and packaged in a very interesting and enjoyable to watch, your new uniform looks great and fits perfectly so it looks stunning.

Captain joe, I must say I love your videos and I love the cargolux liveries, you have a good job there 😊 keep it up

I love watching your videos so much, but I’m not clever enough to be a pilot haha. But your videos are so interesting and informative. Thanks Joe! ❤️

Back in the day, planes had a navigator and a flight engineer. The former wore one stripe and the latter wore two. Since technology phased out those positions, the pilot and first officer just kept the same number of stripes.

Great video Captain, still waiting for the second video of the OFP Explanation. God bless you for your job well done.

Havent watched you for so long glad to see you again!

Such a fun video! Thanks Capt Joe✈️👍

It’s been years since I’ve sewn anything, but I used to make all my own clothes at one time. I was fascinated to see how garments are cut nowadays, funny they all end up with a woman at the sewing machine ultimately. Your choice of lining fabric for your jacket was (chef’s kiss) 💋🤏🏻💨 perfect.

Long time no see Joe... Thank you so much for the video

It is amazing to learn the history that went into the pilot uniform and how many similarities it has to ship officers. Thanks for the insightful video Joe! Also, there is a flight attendant KZfaqr called "Fly With Stella" that 74Gear has done videos with before. Maybe you could work something out with her.

Hi, great video as always. I follow 2 flight attendant... The Blizzard Flyer, a guy from Québec and Fly With Stella who fly's in the US. Keep up the great work.

Hi Joe, nice look with the Suit, Pilots always looking dapper and handsome is a plus. kudos to all my pilot friends

Nice touch with the «Taxi» chase soundtrack! Love that tune

Fascinating! Always good information.

Here en Mexico, Aeromexico uses the star and the four stripes to distinguish those captains who have crossed the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean flying in command

thanks for the information First officer Joe.

when you do your flight attendant uniform video, don't forget to cover the wild uniforms of the the 1970's .. Southwest's Orange uniforms complete with hot pants and Go G0 boots comes to mind, but there were plenty of others

Best pilot-run channel on the internet! Please keep up the great work. 👍😎✈️ PS: I love the movie Catch Me If You Can.

So clear thanks captain!

Looks sharp Joe, thanks for the explanation.

Nice video. Showcasing the tailors of a pilots uniform. Real nice and different content-wise.

That suite is PERFECT FIT looks amazing and personal touch is fantastic!

Captain Joe, you are impressive, most impressive, I can only fly in MFS2020, but it's enough for me. My 737-8 takeoffs are great, but my landings are a bit rough but improving. Keep up the great videos, and that's all I have to say.

Wonderful video! I knew about first officer stripes and the captain ones but not the others! Some aircraft maintenance engineers also wore stripes if am not mistaken! My father had when he was an aircraft maintenance engineer😊

talking of the stripes. I once was talking to a an engineer for TUI who had stripes too. it's for when the aircraft requires to fly and engineer out with it to support the aircraft away from base. His uniform had 2 gold stripes with a thin Purple one in-between. it's so when they are traveling on board the passengers can mistake him as flight crew instead of worrying them seeing an engineer on board.

Informative and good looking, Joe!

glad to see you again Capitain

Gonna love watching your channel through when you make Captain :D

Great touch with the concorde pin! 4 Stripes + 1 Star = Management Pilot(Snr Captain with management duties) In Malaysia Airlines.

Another excelent video, Sir!

Good video thanks Joe have a good day

Love the video. Love the background music. Love the thumbnail. Back with a bang eh Joe? 😎

Hey Joe, Air Ryan's (lol) F/Os receive their 3rd stripe at 500 hours (as Junior f/o). Reaching 1500 hours only changes their title to Senior f/o. And yes we do pay for our jackets, but a reduced rate, which is pretty fair. Anyways, awesome jacket!

Excellent video....thank you!

Joe, you are excellent at dialogue. It's nice to hear from you.

Some airlines do have some great uniforms i think when you look at Emirates and Qatar cabin crew uniforms its at the top of the list when being professional.

Flight attendants with KZfaq channels: Fly With Stella, Kat Nesbitt, Jetting with Julia and Wonderfully Ale

7:24 That's news for me. I always thought you had been a captain in your previous operator. As for the flight attendant video, Stella would be the one I'd recommend.

Cool video Capt. Joe. Some of my relatives are pilots with major CDN carriers. The uniform is sharp. Reassuring to see a sharply dressed crew.

Looking good Captain Joe!

Great video, always wondered what the 2 stripes meant when I saw a BA pilot with them at a tube station.

love the weekly uploads

Thanks Captain Joe.I wanted to know the meaning of the stripes on pilots uniform Edit:And I've seen you for the first time without the pilot uniform.

that lining is awesome!

6:25 Joe Moser... What a legend!

My mom got me your book today! Cant wait to read it!✈

Since I was 5 I loved anything that has and engine and moves. I have went into the cockpit of a British Airways 747 and an A380 (also British Airways. I have a BMW X1 and I love it! When I was 9 I learnt about the three and four stripes and I still don’t know about one and two stripes, this helped a lot, thanks Joe! Ugh who likes Air Ryan bah. Lingus Aer is way better.

Thanks Captain, as a person being in the industry for a while, never got that much deep in history to find how Uniform came along! ;)

I love Captain Joe! He's so smooth.

Great video, as always. The three stripes-four stripes obviously derives from naval-merchant marine system.

Great video. Thx!

Thank you and i wish you all the best

Looking very sharp in that uniform!

Iberia is an airline that uses the star on the suit as well as on the epaulettes.

Looking very smart there Captain Joe!

Captain Joe’s content beats the heck out of TikTok

Wooow very amazing capt. Joe. A very informative content.👍👍👍

What a nice plane in the background! I love the C-160 Transall!

Cool Very Intersting And it's Very Common for Pilots to Wear Uniforms

Nice video, as always. For the flight attendant channel I would recommend "Vola con Francesca", she is an Italian flight attendant based in Miami.

FINALLY! a NEW VIDEO!!!

Pascal vom KZfaq-Kanal Aeronews Germany war Flight Attendant bevor er seine Pilotenkarriere startete. 😊

JOOOEEEEEEE MAMAAA finally uploaded again

Your presentation is highly interesting to watch. Thank you very much and take care. 👍💪✈️

Great captain joe 👏👏👏👏

Amazing !!

I know several FA's but they are relatively new. You can find their YT channels - Jetting Julia, Kat Nesbitt and Kacey Cassady who are US based FA's

In a nutshell, how lucky you were to be on the right place at the right time + doing your job on taking the opportunities if you had them.

I agree with everything. You look great

some airlines have silver lines instead of golden, which i personally find very cool, for example Austrian airlines

Captain Joe's videos are always interesting to watch
