No. I don't have an ATPL, yet. But I know what you mean I am just a pedant today.

Good on the FA, hope they find use for their CPL again sometime if that's what they want (obviously not in the same circumstances).

More to the point, I often think the brief introduction to radio operation etc. would be useful as part of the CC training. I know calling the ground is the last of your worries if the proverbial has hit the fan to the extent that nobody else has the ability to use the Radio but, fighting chance and all that.
