Anyway, all change again in the New Year when the new “Astra Professions” are finalised. Rumour is that the “Aircrew Profession” replaces the Flying Branch and Non-Commissioned Aircrew (the latter have been Airman Aircrew and the 1946 Aircrew Scheme in the past too). I’d guess that Air Ops will remain the same, with maybe a bit of ‘space’ thrown into their profession title - Air & Space Ops? There are supposed to be 10x Professions, so it is still anyone’s guess what they will be, but how they are split is still to be decided and announced.
Sorry for the thread drift.
To be honest I don't think anyone at the coalface gives a stuff about what their airships call us, as long as we get paid the same (or more). Can't imagine many of us oldies will be trading in the brevets with which we graduated to some new fangled rainbow sh*te either.
