At the moment, ‘opportunities’ in all most all platforms / roles. The output from the first one or two ‘generic’ courses is now just about out on the front line across the aircraft types for WSOps. Not heard of any that regretted where they ended up after streaming… yet. Up to now I believe that the staff on 55(R) have managed to keep the majority happy with first or second choice. But as it always has been, so it must be:-
1. Service Need
2. Aptitude
3. Individual Wish
As for which should you prefer… the one that interests you the most and you think you will get the most satisfaction out of. Ask lots of questions on here, everywhere else you can think of and during the generic phase. Remember you won’t be ‘locked’ into the role for life, you can ‘ring the changes’ subject of course to points 1 and 2. I know of five WSOps who are on their fourth role or type and lots on their third.
