Ngineer, you are correct. But it IS too late to bitch about it. All we can do is learn to make the most of it. And the current QF system of maintenance will need to change to take in the new CASR66 regs. There is already plenty of movement in this area. eg. the splitting up of the QEPM into the EPM, MCM and the AAOP. Go have a talk to someone from QS & RM. Change is coming- there's no stopping it. So as LAMEs we need to embrace these changes so that we, as a group, can obtain the best outcome for ourselves and for future LAMEs ie. the apprentices and AMEs who will obtain part 66 licences as their 1st licence. Us current LAMEs are going to be stuck in a "transition" period, but for the LAMEs of tomorrow part 66 will be all they know. We need to get onboard to secure our own future and the future of the LAMEs of tomorrow.
