A little off track, but what's with the FAs wearing full wings!these days?

I always thought that an FA was bestowed with a half wing for their role.

My 'full' wings were awarded to me after a lot of training, associated costs, and dogged determination. Keeping them requires no less commitment. I wear them with great pride and they represent that I can indeed 'fly', albeit with the assistance of technology.

While I have great respect for my colleagues down the back, the use of full wings on their uniform does not sit well with me.
