It is the Honourable
Company of Air Pilots.
We changed our name in February 2014 when HM The Queen bestowed 'Honourable' status upon us.
See:
This thread
I am told members ..... who are pilots can nominate someone for an award.
If you were told that, whoever told you was wrong.
As I told you in the TCT thread: "Anyone (member or not) may nominate a candidate for an award."
See:
Call for Nominations
I recommend reading this before submitting any nominations:
Criteria for Awards
It sets out the terms of reference for each of our awards
I understand the other current nominee is Tracy Curtis Taylor
Your understanding is incorrect.
When appropriate, more than one Master's Medal may be awarded in the same year.
NB: As you will see when you read the links above, many different awards are available.
