Flugplatz You make some very good and valid points there; but you are wasting your effort. Those with the "please Sir, it's not fair" mind set are stuck with it and nothing on this planet will change it.
Perhaps we would be better occupied debating the wisdom of the way this is being done. He's already elected to be a brown job and he was entitled to that choice. Would it have been better if his aviation qualification had been pursued through the Army system? Army service at flying school is still service. That would not then involve the abbreviated training so many of you object to and the qualification and badge would carry something near the true value expected. Would the Navy or Air Force then be able to drip that his brevet doesn't qualify him for theirs?
To a large extent, he has a choice in how this phase of his preparation for the Throne is run. If he has said, outright, that he doesn't want to be trained to Army "wings" standard, then that's another matter. In the meantime, if the current route has been deemed the way to go, let's wish the future big fellah luck and all hope that it adds to his military and "air" awareness. If his Gran is happy for her Air Force to award even a honorary pilot's brevet to him, who are we to question her (including the many fervent republicans here)? As the the RWF were proud to change their cap badge simply because Queen Victoria made a spelling mistake, can't we do this with some modicum of good grace?
