What do the epaulets on flight school uniforms mean?

The epaulets (and the uniforms) mean that the school is pretentious.

The last time I rode a cross-country bus, the driver was also wearing
a pilot-like uniform with epaulets. Also sporting a three-day-old 5-
o'clock shadow too, and probably hadn't washed her hair in as many
days either.
