Thank you rockiesquid. I see what is going on here now. It's not AEOps, sorry WSOps something to do with EW stuff, he has a downer on it's GE's who think they are Air Engs. The difference is, is that GE's have a future in the RAF. He can't take it that he has been replaced by a computerised warning system on the latest RAF AT. Heck, even the Loadies, sorry WSOp Cmn (FW) carry out initial systems checks and deal with the fuel panel on the C130J. From what I have heard it isn't exactly rocket science, as why would you let a white butty box dispenser do the checks?

Have actually any idea what qualifying for a Flight Engineers licence entails?
But what is the point in holding one of those licences? It's about as much use as applying for a black and white TV licence. Still you could be an assistant manager to the Navs, sorry WSO's in Maccy dees.
I got one of those useless Flight Engineers licenses when I left and now gross twice what I did in the RAF thanks to it. When I hire people for my team an FE or ATP license are a minimum requirement and we don't even fly!
