Your question
Now how do we get that message across to this generation of ops officers?
The short answer is as individuals we can only keep the message
alive.
The slightly longer answer is, if this and related threads have encouraged 5, or more people to motivate themselves to do the existing courses, then that is a win!
The real challenge is not individual operations staff, but getting the UK Industry to realise the writing on the wall that certification will become manadtory is no longer paint, but actually 20 feet tall neon signs which say OPERATIONS CERTIFICATION IS COMING - ACT NOW - ACT TOGETHER TO PREPARE FOR IT!
Unfortunately some will just buy smoked glasses to avoid seeing it and will go into corporate denial!
If this seems cynical, I am reminded of an Airline that was given two years to prepare for a massive IT change. They then failed to attend any meetings on the change, but updates were sent to them. When the time came they had 'forgotten' it was happening that month. It them took one year more get it done! 16 Other Airlines were changed on schedule. This was not a person, but an entire organisation, that had gone into denial!
