Could someone please (politely) explain to me how this happens?
As an LAME for more than 30 years, though never with Qantas, I just cannot see how this can happen, IF these people are qualified LAMEs on certain types, then CASA should have records for those endorsements, whether or not Qantas do as well.
I have had numerous endorsements over the years, after doing courses and training both in Australia and Overseas, but in all cases CASA ultimately approved the courses and training (sometimes reluctantly) and then issue the endorsements.
Why is Qantas so different? (sensible answers PLEASE.
)
