Cabin crew are not aircrew.
If they want to be recognised by the RAF then get to OASC, pass the 4 days of testing which the vast majority fail, complete the 6 months of leadership training, the 3-7yrs of flying training and then they can say they are.
Completing a 4 week course that any mess steward can attend without a robust, scientifically designed selection process is just not the same, no matter what way you skin it.
Until then, they will have to suck it up and accept they are a role fit for the aircraft and nothing more. Sorry.
