Who is the direct supervisor of the PIC and SIC?

• A. Domicile Chief Pilot
• B. Chief Pilot
• C. Station Manager
• D. Director of Operations

Answer: (A)

The direct supervisor is the Domicile Chief Pilot. In airline operations, each domicile/base has a Chief Pilot who directly oversees the pilots based there, handling things like training approvals, currency, line checks, and day-to-day crew management. This person serves as the immediate supervisor for the PIC and SIC at that domicile. The Station Manager focuses on station operations, and the Director of Operations is a higher-level role responsible for overall operations rather than supervising individual pilots.
