Airline pilot name badges, why?
Open for discussion.
In the modern age of social media, smart phones with video and camera capabilities, and pilot scrutiny in the advent of accidents (ie. MH370) should the pilot community be happy with full names displayed on their name badges, or wear name badges at all? (I'm not referring to required security ID)
I notice more and more on pilot PA's that pilot's are now only offering their first name, or last, but not both.
What is the benefit of wearing a name badge at all and how many airlines actually wear one?
