In this case Parc is not responsible for the AOC. Purely an agency supplying crew. Bonza AOC with Flight operations ‘operated by Parc’ is what they are trying to do. They have hired a safety and training manager directly as part of the AOC process, everyone underneath will work for CAE. The whole idea is to bring down costs, few on the payroll in HQ, and outsource the remainder of the operation to a third party including all checking, training, safety departments.
Agencies are used all over the world, nothing new, however remains to be seen how far CASA will let that stretch here.
