What's up with that "Crossfield" class anyway? Clearly a refit after the end of Discovery or a misidentification I think.

I also didn't make the connection of the black backing indicating the Academy or the Starbase personnel flower-emblem, but this makes sense since she would be an officer and the only other Academy badges we've seen are worn by cadets. Assuming that when she says "she teaches" that means she is currently teaching, perhaps out of a Starbase. Although, I wonder why only Pelia wears the flower-emblem when there are other starbase personnel who seem to be wearing standard issue uniforms.

Discovery set a sort of precedent for this era of Trek by having only the XO and Captain wear gold. This of course gets mirrored in updated colors when they arrive in the 32nd century. It doesn't make a lot of sense unless, as you suggest, there's no clear pattern to the division color for pilots/helmsmen.

Oddly enough Geordi doesn't wear command red even though he is ostensibly a flag officer in command of multiple ships. He wore command red as a pilot and then never again, apparently, even as he obtained senior rank.
