its very realistic
Best crewing I have worked with all came from lorry company's
In fact the crewing that were always home grown were pretty bloody useless compared to folk with proven logistics track records.
It just resource allocation within a rule frame work.
And I don't know about others but personally if I saw a CV with similar from the railways I would be straight through to the CEO's office to show him and an interview would be on the cards pretty quick.
That skill set isn't something you can spot by academic qualifications, the person either has it or they don't. It seems to be very hard to train as well. You can get people up to a certain standard but then they top out. Some just hit that standard and then keep going sometimes in days far outstripping the so called instructor. They have a third sense when some stinker is lingering for a screw up day.
That's the reason why the airline are happy with no airline experience they want the brain that can juggle multiple variables and spot breaks in patterns sometimes weeks in advance and not go sick within a couple of months due to stress.
Good luck to your relative.
