This is completely in line with how the FAA operates with respect to air travel. They are involved in certification for pilots, crew, and aircraft, but rarely do anything involving passengers. And that's exactly what these wealthy thrill-seekers are -- passengers -- they just happen to be flying aboard a spacecraft. The FAA is not interested in receiving or dealing with a barrage of nominations for "astronaut wings" from hundreds of wealthy thrill-seeking passengers. And honestly, they shouldn't have to. We don't expect to get FAA designated "aeronaut" wings for flying in an airliner. Why should this be any different? If you really want a wings pin, I'm sure you'll be able to buy one at the gift shop on your way out.
