Chec tunset, I have been led to believe that a UK AOC would be both expensive and probably take over a year, What ever the solution to our issues it will be resolved long before that. Consequently the willingness of our own training and standards department to cooperate will be an important factor. I cant speak for CK, but no I would not be happy to see BFS on a UK AOC. We are one pilot body and we have one set of standards. If you know differently re a new AOC, I would be very interested to hear.
