Umm, yes sorry - I didn't quite see the word 'pilot' on first reading....doh!
However, although some Navs/Engs ALMs have a destinctive 'perfume', they are also human beings (mostly) and so have their uses and own skills!!! (now there's an oppoprtunity for the facile to get some knives in!!).
Anyway, now that I have seen the job description, I can safely say this post would certainly be better-suited to an instructor pilot with relevant recent operational and training experience (perhaps an ex K/J TTF FI/RI or STANEVAL?). Optional extras would include SF, EWO, QFI, AARI, IRE, flt cdr or even someone who had done the Fg Trg Mgrs Cse and Halton). An ability to read across from both fleets at LYE (and also the C17) with an OPEN MIND would be a significant advantage!!!!!!
Nonethless, I can think of a few Navs, Engs and ALMs who could easily apply for the job without fear of ridicule - in fact some may be better qualified than a high proportion of pilots on either side of the station.....so there!!
