The NHS has made significant advances in quality and efficiency via the introduction of the Advanced Nurse Pratitioner and Surgical Care Practitioner roles. This has been achieved by adding value to the roles of existing staff and achieving synergies as part of a robust, joined-up, forward-looking approach towards achieving excellence in patient care.
Now we are thrilled to announce that a number of major international airlines have followed the NHS's lead in delivering ever-better services via an innovative new scheme, namely the introduction of a new post called the Advanced Aviation Practitioner.
This will mean that airlines will no longer rely on old-fashioned and elitist working models such as the tradtional 'Pilot' and 'Co-Pilot' combination. Images of Porsche-driving pilots festooned in gold-trimmed uniforms have long been seen as outmoded in today's competitive, lower-priced aviation environment.
Thus, by upgrading the role of existing 'Cabin Crew' members to the status of Advanced Aviation Practitioner, employees will be able to work in new and exciting ways. No longer will aircraft be flown by overpaid and inflexible pilots, backed up by a co-pilot. Instead, by extracting synergies from the wealth of experience that Cabin Crew have in superior service delivery, aircraft will be flown by a Co-pilot assisted by an Advanced Aviation Practitioner.
Critics have said that this amounts to a 'dangerous dumbing down' of the aviation workforce, and concerns have been raised about whether Advanced Aviation Practitioners will be able to cope in midair crisis situations,such as engine fires, equipment malfuntions and so on.
However, Patricia Flewitt (Secretary of State for All Things Related to the Air) strongly refuted these claims as absurd by saying "This has been the Best Year Ever for the aviation industry, and we welcome the introduction of innovative schemes such as the Aviation Practitioner role."
