agreed with the amsa thing.
the qualifications in aviation are supposed to be evidence of having ones feet on the ground. they are not as such requirements for the job.
that job being to manage the resources so that the players prosper while staying accident free. not to lord it over the players and make their lives miserable.
safety is after all a description applied to a successfully completed activity not an entity in itself. with out the activity there can be no actual safety.
what we absolutely do not want is another Ex-RAAF person who sees themselves as absolutely expert while having not the slightest understanding of civilian aviation. nor for that matter someone out of the aeroclub environment who has nothing but instructing behind them.
