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.
In which case I agree that it would be nice to have full time CC. It must be a bit of a let down to go from jet setting around in a grow bag to dishing up the core menu in the Mess. They already have a badge but do they get flying pay when they are on a flying Sqn?
