Who needs a Captain's course at OCU
Often wondered how the truckie fleet (and others I guess) justified sending pilots on a 6 month course to become right hand seat qualified, then put them back though the OCU a couple of years later to become left hand seat qualified. In the maritime world pilots left the OCU both left and right hand seat qualified and were appointed to captaincy on the squadron and on merit, in competition of course with rear crew members. Any thoughts - were those selected for maritime better pilots, the cream of the crop perhaps?
