Sigh. We all know that the official name is Badge not Brevet, because the pedants are for ever telling us so. Yet we persist in calling it a Brevet. Horses and Water I guess. What can you do?
There are a lot of specialist personnel who carry out there roles in aircraft it is true. That is different to being a constituent part of the basic crew. They are aircrew. Nothing Honorary about it. If you could apply yourself to my basic argument that RAF Cabin Crew need recognition by the rest of the RAF that they are indeed aircrew and should thus be accorded the same status as all other aircrew, ie an Aircrew Badge (you see now what you've made me do?) and appropriate rank (ie Sgt and above) then the importance of their job and their effectiveness in that job (ie saving lives) would be greatly assured. What we have now is an underlying sense of patronising and sniggering superiority that won't play well in dire circumstances. Time to change perhaps?
