True enough Bus, but those with grandfather rights won't be available for ever. Old licence holders may never die but they certainly fade away. The JAA's intention as expressed in JAR 66 is surely that Electrics is to be absorbed completely into Airframes and Engines. In most JAA states this is not a problem as the existing Licence holders were trained in electrics from the beginning. In UK they aren't and if the change over is to be succesful then proper training should be given. Here on this forum we see LAEs scrambling about in the dark trying to get lists of questions to help them pass exams. Is this really the way to go? We can easily deduce the CAA's attitude to training from their lack of interest. Plenty of lip service but no action.
When I retire I would still like to fly away on holiday. Perhaps I should stick to foreign carriers though?
