My point wasn't about what people got when they are out of uniform. It was adressing the post that surmised VA crew "got looked after". Generally, the only way you'd know they were crew is that they would be in uniform. So I can see where the assumption comes from. Simply correcting a misconception, nothing more.
P.S Have to say Keg, you used "makes sense", and aviation in the same post. I have to ask, how long have you been flying?
(It's a rhetorical question mate, I know the answer!)
