Many tradespeople in the Avionic/Communications field have worked their socks off to obtain their 'Sparky' badge, but are they allowed to emblazon it on their woolly pully, or their coveralls or CS95's, NO, but it is still a trade badge, just like the 1 or ½ winged aircrew trade badge.
Then again, how many tradespeople in the Avionic/Communications field would actually want to wear it on CS95's. I would bet that they would not constantly whinge about not being able to wear them either.
In 1943 the automatic pilot was invented, we still await the invention of the automatic groundcrew.
