So as you can see to qualify for a reasonable salary you have to have achieved many licenses or years of experience, unfortunately there are many engineers who have only one or two ratings. Those that have been around for many years with a few type ratings are the ones the company is trying to piss off. They prefer the one legged engineer who doesn't cost much.
