No, I have not unsubtly changed the context; go back and read your words which I have quoted - " He was awarded a D Cat - as a pilot".. which you keep changing to 'he was assessed as worthy of a pilot D cat". If you can't back up your original comments then stop backtracking..
Any fleet which awards an ALM a pilot category - not Pilots Assistant - to operate as a pilot without undergoing training under the supervision of a QFI/QHI with emergency handling, simulator sorties, take-off and landing practice, on the basis of one sortie is, in my opinion unprofessional, bordering dangerous and in breach of regulations.
