Sorry, but if you read back the CAA and the JAA have specifically ruled out the licencing of ops staff in their papers. That doesn't mean however, that course completion and the passing of a set of exams to gain accreditdation/certification of a ICAO flight ops standard isn't worth anything, on the contrary, it is in all ways a de facto licence and most worthwhile for the airline and the individual. The requirement to licence brings in a whole raft of legislation and regulation and, as far as I can see is very unlikely at the present.
Although a convert to the FAR dispatch system, I can also see that we can 'up' the European/UK ops position to a much more professional status provided we have a 'standard of training and accredidation or certification. And most importantly in all this, is the requirement to have ops officer training standards included in the Ops Manual Part D, this brings us side by side with our aircrew colleauges and acknowledges the important role we play.
