If he had done the JTP course and had a CASA Licence that was not on EQ, then I would agree that this is a cost cutting issue. (if the airline would not pay him to use it). However if this was the case, one would be crazy to be signing as a LAME.
If all he had was a JTP completed course and no basics, this is not an issue of cost cutting.
Either way in an instance such as this, it would be the individual at fault who knew he was signing illegaly. And of course, there are issues and cracks within the airline system of maintenance to allow this to happen on many occassions.
Expect the usual bullcr@p, that is we will put an auditing system in place to ensure this does not happen again.
