I'll calm down when all RAF Aircrew are recognised as such LJ. So let's not wait for another fatal accident thread in this forum, this time stemming from certain passengers challenging their Cabin Crew instructions when seconds count, because they are 'just waiters'. MAA regulations require Cabin Crew in various numbers to be present on certain RAF aircraft dependent on the pax numbers, such Cabin Crew to be Aircrew. So are they Aircrew or not?


The badge you illustrate is issued to certain members of an RAF Ground Trade. What Blazing Saddles might have referred to as a 'Stinkin Badge'. You know full well that I am asking for a Flying Badge for them, as issued to all RAF Aircrew. They are RAF Aircrew (check with your Air Regulator). So give them the Flying Badge that is their right!
