Have you ever stopped to think that the ALAEA my be working behind the scenes to prevent the removal of qualified LAMEs from the Preflight Inspection? Sometimes it is better strategically to play your cards close to your chest rather than chest thumping and postulating like some other industry groups.
QF have been playing you blokes for the last eighteen months on this issue, following the 'throw enough sh!t and some of it will stick' philosophy. They, despite their own belief to the contrary, have to have changes to their Manual approved by CASA. If that was going to be granted, why hasn't it already?
Sadly the strategy appears to be working when I read some of the whining and whinging on this and other forums.
Just remember it's not over until the Fat Lady sings.
