Perhaps none of his FJ nav mates were willing to fly with him!
On a serious note, I think that shows the limitations of OASC selection. People do slip through the net at great expense. Your colleague has had a great deal of money spent on him when, if selected properly the first time round, he could have gone straight into pilot training. He sounds like a good operator with plenty of mud moving experience!
An F3 mate of mine did a front seat conversion a few years back & is probably one hell of an operator as a result of his back seat knowledge.
