Hi, MrB!
Last year, I raised the topic of 'Chinese acceptance' with the CAA chap who had been chiefly responsible for the 'Mil accreditation' scheme. He told me that yes, there had been a problem, but that the Hong Kong-CAA had then been given fuller details of the scheme and had accepted it.
That chap has now left the CAA, I understand, and I don't know who is currently responsible for such policy.
Or indeed whether the 'Mil accreditation scheme' will continue under EASA.
Is there anyone in whatever 'manning' is called these days looking after this significant recruiting and retention incentive nowadays......???
