Don't worry folks I have an idea, if you can't stand them being called pilots refer to them as 'Drone Drivers'.
It won't affect how they do their job or how much they get paid and will be a very reasonable introduction to the wonderful world of 'aircrew' banter.
Personally I gave up caring about badges after the Cub Scouts, it is what you do that counts. We seem to cope in No2 dress in the summer
