No, becuase they were pilots and completed OASC/IOT/EFT/ Adv Fg Trg. They are still pilots.

Kbw101010101, you may bluster all you like; UAV the pilots badge deliberately differentiated between them and 'real pilots' as the thread that ran on here showed at the time.
In case anyone has forgotten the laurel leaves were a different colour.
Heres the teddies being thrown out of the cot first time round.

You and I both know the Pilots wouldnt have would they? and why should they. The Pilots Flying Badge would never be altered or handed to another trade for the very same reasons ive stated above.
Any Branch or Trade can qualify for the VR or G flying badges? Also, the RPAS(P) badge was a b@stardised version of the original badge too. So, I’m afraid you are wrong on that...

I was referring to full time pilots - apologies I didn’t make that clear. Not reserve pilots or VR or even glider pilots. But full time regular pilots.

Plus as stated the RPAS pilot wings blue laurels were changed back - the reasons for which I’m sure are debated elsewhere on here but the fact remains they altered it to suit a particular skill set: and then funnily enough.... changed it right back....

Hence my original statement of “they wouldn’t dare alter the pilot wings/ nor would they get away with it” or words to that affect.

If that weren’t the case - the laurels would still be blue. But they are not.

Altering flying badges / yet again altering well established flying badges to suit a particular career objective of someone in a staff job is ludicrous. Not only is it wasteful in hours spent staffing the paperwork- but also in the cost of manufacture of new flying badges and the hours wasted in Tailoring.

As long as the OJAR narrative is strong enough for the SO to get the next rank up it’s all good I suppose. Nothing had changed there....
