In LALA land ( EASA) the Engineer was dropped from the Licence, Being AML as opposed to AMEL.... But as said above, who cares, though some will and get peeved at the thought something has been taken from them.....
I did retain my CAA licence when I converted over to Part 66 as some bits and bobs I do need it, after all who wouldn't when it is free, stupid idea though making it only 2 yrs instead of 5 so it does not align, I mean as it costs nothing why not simply leave it at 5 years and renew together....
