I didn't mention anything about certification; P2F is not about certification as such, it's about buying a job which usually involves type-training which clearly, couldn't happen in a public service environment such as the NHS. My friend is a senior consultant at a London teaching hospital although admittedly, the discussion was over a beer in the pub and his views are unlikely to be the official line of the NHS. I would like to think, as an occasional customer, that the NHS is a little more discerning in selecting clinical staff than some of the airlines whose former P2F F/O's have applied to join my outfit?
