Just remember managers are short term contractors. I can remember one short rotund manager telling all the AMEs about 11-12 years ago that you will not get trained and you have reached the pinnacle of your career. Then he got booted and albeit a small number of AMEs were trained, but they were trained. And last year one manager with a scottish accent also said that there will be full B1 training for AMEs this year(2019). That obviously hasn't happened. It is hard to know who to believe and when to believe them. Cat A licences are the saviour, obviously.
