HAA  

You must be the best pilot at your base, maybe even the whole state. 

Can we be professional here? And put this to rest with some facts and not feelings or opinions?

Fact FAR part 1.1. "Crewmember means a person assigned to perform duty in an aircraft during flight time."

Some of you don't like that reference so here is another reference all of us should be familiar with. 

Fact. AC 135-14B Paragraph 1.6. dd. "Medical Crewmembers. Also referred to as medical flight personnel, as opposed to flightcrew members. A medical crewmember (medical personnel) is an individual with medical training, carried aboard a HAA during flights or flight segments. Crewmembers typically include: flight nurses, paramedics, respiratory specialists, neonatal specialist and other medically-trained specialists. (Refer to § 135.601(b)(2).)"

So they are crewmembers, just medical crewmembers. Not flight crewmember, not glorified flight attendant, not passenger , not self loading baggage.  

No wonder we are the laughing stock of the aviation community.
