Chugalug, apologies if I have bitten off an insignificant element of your argument.
The thread title is about badges and your comment “Rather than question the effectiveness or otherwise of the badge they should just be given it” also appeared to be focusing on badges.
You can see my confusion.
So if it isn’t about badges, and nobody here is suggesting Cabin Crew are anything other than suitably trained and competent at their job, what is your point?
