My question is about the KSA's and the responses that you are allowed to select.

1. Risk Management - The ability to assure that risk is identified, evaluated, documented, eliminated or controlled within defined program risk parameters.

The 1st response you can select is along the lines of "I do not have this skill acquired through a degree program, etc."

The 2nd is "I do have this skill acquired from program of study resulting in a degree, etc." Not exact but close to what is on line.

I you have a degree that did not include a course of study in the specific KSA, but flew the line as a professional pilot (military or civilian), how did you approach this? I searched and read what I could on the subject, any more info?

Thanks in advance.
My best guess would be to call the HR help line and ask them that question directly.
I did not have to approach that particular question when I applied, but I'd like to think that if you had training in Risk Management as part of any formal educational procress - military or civilian - then you could check the I DO block - but I hate the wording of '...resulting in a degree' which leads me to believe they are looking at some form of training acquired while participating in an aviation degree program which I can't believe they would actually care about in the end game.

Let me roll this question off of a former ASI who got a job a few years back and see what his experience tells him.
