Default FedEx-different wings

I was walking through AOC last week and saw a captain wearing his leather jacket, but it didn't have the usual patch on it with the FedEx wings and the captains name. These were larger than normal wings with a star on it and ivy/vines around the star. It was definitely had an after market look to it. I'm all civilian, and don't know what it means, so I did a search on it and the best I can find is it might be an Air Force Command pilot wings. Just curious if this is correct or if it means something else. Also, this must be something in his past life so I'm not really sure why he chose this over the normal FedEx wings. He is now a FedEx captain regardless of what he was in his previous military life.

It sounds like you're describing USAF Command Pilot wings. Only douche bag would wear non-Company wings on a company uniform. Probably some jackwagon who think everyone should be impressed with him. Where the heck was the uniform police, anyway?!

It was either Capt. Trey LeParker or Capt. Hugh G. Rectus. If he had his hat on, it was Hugh.

Oh come on...Give the guy a break. We've asked everyone to wear their ALPA lanyard. How's everyone supposed to know, if he can't wear his USAF lanyard?

BCuz he still wears his Black Air Force Uniform shoes and he dims his headlights coming thru the FedEx guard shack at the Democrat Lot.

Possibly Capt Mike Hunt, or Capt Haywood Jablomi or Capt Emerson Biggons?
