In my opinion i dont think Qf or any of the major airlines now are interested in training ame's to lame level. I got offered an AME role with jetstar about 3 months ago, i am a Avionics LAME full E/I/R licences with some airline experiance, and when i asked if they would get me type rated the answer was " no ".
Im getting pretty tired of getting the same response from multiple airlines so i have now moved into a different stream of the airline bussiness.
Good luck to all the other AME's out there hoping to become LAME's....
Cheers
