Where are you going with this? Are you trying to say a military passenger would try and pull rank on a member of the cabin crew in an emergency (highly unlikely, people respect the difference between rank and authority in my experience in war and peace)? How does this support your argument of making CC Aircrew anyway? If someone wants to argue with CC they aren't going to be interested in their crew status.
