and they could, with a swipe of a pen, allow dentists to preform brain surgery even though they have no qualification or training to do so. They are both doctors aren't they?

I fail to understand how the rest of the world is wrong in their aviation licencing.
How is Australia's relic system which has been all but abandoned around the world thereby making our licences virtually worthless to anyone except Australian employers (bar the odd ICAO system) actually a better way to do things. Seriously, box goes out, box goes in, lightbulb goes out lightbulb goes in. 99% of line maintenance defects rectified.
If I were running an airline, would I by choice have a dozen B2 licenced guys sitting in the smoko room waiting for some work to happen when the B1 guys can certify
for the same stuff ?
There may be this lingering superiority complex amongst some of you guys. My advice, move on and get with the times instead of fighting for the old system which has the true meaning of the word 'legacy'.
