It is an universal ranking.
1bar - 2nd officer
2bars - 1st officer
3bars - senior 1st officer
4bars - captian
Just a natural progression and 4bars is at the top of the rank.

Because they have copied the nautical convention of a captain having 4 bars or sleeve loops. Simple.

Because that's the rank insignia of a Captain.

so you can tell by looking at them that they're the captain, of course!
