I would suggest anyone reading this who is concerned should join (if they have not done so already) the ALEA, they appear to be the only group who are fighting the LAE,s corner, and will im sure fight this issue on our behalf to the bitter end, we should remember if these people had not fought for the engineers licence in the seventies the LAE would be long gone.
