Ew, these words strike fear into all of us! Buddy in a sister squadron (no names) is thinking about voluntarily terminating his flight status. He's been a winged aviator for over 2-years. Anyway, since this never happens I was curious? If he volunteers to terminate, will he retain the right to wear the insignia (i.e. keep his pilot wings)? And if it goes to FNAEB, what are the odds they take his wings away from him in that scenario? I believe this is known as "Termination of Flight Status with:
Type B (1) - Retention of right to wear the insignia.
Whereas there's also:
It's my understanding that only mishaps and other incidents warrant a B2, and if a guy simply isn't good enough they usually get a B1? Is this true?
Any thoughts from you professionals? What have you seen or experienced in your careers? Can this screw up his chances of flying for civilians someday? I'm really curious to see how this goes down, hoping for the best for him but you never know!
Your thoughts please.

Whereas there's also:
Type B (2) - Revocation of right to wear the insignia. Revocation of this right is considered appropriate when board action is the result of dishonoring naval aviation or willful and flagrant violation of established rules, regulations, and directives.
