It has brought me out of retirement literally. When will you engineers ever learn? If you want to influence anything you need to align under a single banner. It is the way of industrial life.
For those who remember, every attempt during my life time was basically sabotaged by lack of effort or the absolute back stabbing selfishness of the licensed engineer. SLATE, ALAE, Prospect you name it, it didn't succeed.
For every engineer with the balls to do his job properly and refuse to sign off aircraft that are not airworthy, there are 5 who throw integrity to the wind and sign.
You have yourself to blame that the worst option of all, Unite, has a foot in most companies.
The fact that no-one replied to the original question says it all.
I doubt you will ever wake up?
Quite frankly now I am out of it all, the best thing industry could do is get rid of the licence.
