This is a very valid point. Nothing wrong with PICUS if it is done correctly with a system in place.
However the magenta line following generation merely think a PF sector qualifies as a PICUS sector. Management allow this as imagine the extra cost should real PICUS be required. How the CASAs of this world let them do it amazes me.
No not cadet bashing, just feel some real command time is needed and if not that like the ole 500 hours days then some real PICUS with real decision making. That means if the Capt has to assist or suggest well then that’s not PICUS is it?
Or am I being to harsh?
