The Air Eng trade is only just in surplus and that includes the commisioned bretheren. With FSTA slipping further to the right and the Tri motor and 10 being extended not to mention Nimrod R, the "E" brevet will be around for a while yet, (got a stash from stores that will see me through.) Looking forward to the p**sup next year.
Being an air engineer is like driving a Wells Fargo stage coach. Spend most of your working day sat behind two horses arse.
