Door Slider, thanks for the reassurance that RAF Cabin Crew training is as good as if not better than Air Tanker civil training. If that is as good as, if not better, than other civil airline training then we cannot expect more. Time as ever will be the judge.
So RAF cabin crew are fully trained for their aircrew role. If the RAF has any other hoops for them to jump through before it gives them their rightful recognition as aircrew then it should in all justice get on with it. The lack of that recognition adversely affects their acceptance as being fully trained and competent. That is unjust.
As for a fast food outfit running an airline, you fly with them by all means, I'd much prefer to fly with a Cabin Crew who are both fully trained and have progressively built up their experience and confidence over the years. The same goes for pilots in my view, but that's perhaps for a different thread...
