FLS has found the perfect way to keep engineers! One of them there passed his JAR66 license and asked if FLS would contribute to the cost. The reply was no, due to the fact that FLS did not need JAR66. Also if they encouraged their staff to obtain JAR66 ,the staff would become more attractive to other employees!!
By discouraging their engineers from obtaining JAR66 means they will have to work on grandfather rights. Hence become of no use to other companies who are working towards the total JAR66 goal.
How fantastically clever of them...Now that's good man management!!
