I wondered why you cared about which badges people wore so much. You said you didn’t and you cared about air safety. Which we all do.
I’m confused about your point about Cabin Crew if it isn’t about badges
OK SM I'll bite. The thread is about Flying Badges, all right, new Flying Badges. Fairly early on a pic was posted of an RAF Cabin Crew Member in No1's. On her sleeve is her Cabin Crew trade badge. Being a Ground Trade she is not entitled to a Flying Badge as the RAF does not recognise her as Aircrew. The MAA, the RAF's Air Regulator, states that she is Aircrew. Indeed, if she were not aircrew the RAF would not be operating in accordance with the a/c RTS when she is on duty as part of her constituted crew iaw the RTS. That is how we got to here.
