Not too sure what you mean. The objective here is to get a feel for how many people in the UK would be required to hold any new ops officer qualification/licence that might emerge from changes coming about with CAA/JAA/EASA.
3. Any others whose role includes the provison of operational services to airlines in the UK who would reasonably expect them hold a a licence should it be required. e.g. Ryanair Ops people, flight planning service providers, handling company flight planners or pre-flight breifing. Helicopter operational types who might be included
İn the above, I recognise that there may be an expectation, if maybe not a direct requirement, for non-airline employed people to hold the same ops qualification. For example, a handling company or FBO who provides pre-flight documentation or flight planning services to an airline. İn that case, it is perfectly reasonable for the airline to expect the staff providing those services would hold the same qualifcation and meet the same standards as their own people might.
But please, this is a straw poll and we needn't be to pedantic, if you think that you would need to hold any future ops qualfication/accreditdation then please, post your numbers.
