No, I want to avoid Inquiries by avoiding the avoidable accidents that lead to them. By employing full time professional Cabin Crew who are recognised by the RAF as Aircrew, even if an accident cannot be avoided, its toll if any might at least be greatly reduced. If all it takes for them to be so recognised is a tick, so yes, I would like to see a tick. If not, then whatever else is needed for them to be so recognised by the RAF and hence awarded their Flying Badges as RAF Aircrew.
