[POSITIONING](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/positioning) CABIN CREW MEMBERS

To prevent confusion by passengers and undue expectations in case of emergency, positioning cabin crew members should not wear, or should at least make invisible to passengers, parts of the operator’s cabin crew uniform, such as main jacket or crew signs or badges, that might identify them as members of the operating cabin crew.
