While the thread is referring to 'RAF,' the UK is not the only country that uses the word brevet for pilot's wings, PJI's etc. Being pedantic on not using that word and describing even PJI's brevets as flying badges won't make a difference. Many members of air forces from around the world won't change from using the word brevet just because it isn't in the KR's or the QR's because it doesn't apply to them.
