Think what AOC holders need now, most of them require assistance with transitioning to the new ops regs.
Ops manuals require amendments, new procedures need to be developed and safety management systems need to be implemented. Can the average pilot help with any of these new demands? They should be able to if they have a CPL. It’s not rocket science, nor is it hard to learn how to use Microsoft products.
exactly. It’s a consideration for me when shortlisting otherwise equally (licence and hour) qualified candidates, and something I ask about and consider the candidate’s response carefully when across the table.
ESPECIALLY if you’ve gone and done a flying degree.
