Gents,
Professionalism. Please.
The only way to differentiate a learned man from others is by manner of his professionalism. Please note that ‘learned’ used in this context is referring to wisdom rather than the quantity of knowledge he possesses.
For all who do not know Captain Dieter Harms:
Captain Dieter Harms, born in 1940, started his career over 48 years ago with Lufthansa German Airlines.
He flew a wide variety of aircraft and retired by late 2005 as a Captain on B 747- 400.
He was the Head of the Lufthansa Pilot School in Bremen and Phoenix, AZ from 1980 until 1990, thereafter the Head of Training of Lufthansa German Airlines and from 1997 until his retirement the CEO of the newly founded Lufthansa Flight Training Company.
Captain Harms was involved with the application of Competency Based Training and the development of the MPL right from the beginning and served as an advisor to the ICAO FCLT-Panel from 2000 to 2005 and to the CJAA during the transposition of the MPL from Annex 1 into JAR-FCL in 2006.
Besides running his consulting firm he works for IATA since 2007 as a Senior Advisor in the IATA Training and Qualification Initiative (ITQI) and supported CAAC on the implementation of MPL in China between 2008 and 2011.
Since 2009 Capt. Harms serves as a member on the EASA MPL Advisory Board.
Now that is a learned man...
BTW, it is Dieter, not Deiter.
