As a JO returning from the Falklands in the early 90s I was made the PRO, despite there being alot of SOs on board. I rather got the impression that it was a menial admin duty that they couldn't be bothered with, & that there was little to do provided the ac didn't divert when I would have been the liason between pax & crew for hotac etc. The job was 'sold' to me by a mover on the basis that I would get a whole row of seats to myself to sleep on! Don't remember being asked to complete any forms though, & certainly noone complained to me.
