Fairly clear isn’t it? Cabin Crew fall into the definition of Aircrew.
Its clear in terms of the MAA , yes- as its a role in the air.
Its also clear according to QR206 that they are not awarded a flying badge, as "CC" badge is NOT a flying badge.
And according to AP1358 the badge they wear is a Trade Qualification Badge, not a Flying Badge- therefore
not authorised to wear it in the same position of uniform as a Flying Badge.
Fairly Clear isnt it? - yes AP1358 is.
