dream on mate, in commercial aviation these days fewer and fewer licensed enginers are employed in a QA role ,its far cheaper to employ clerks, and they dont examine engineers for type approvals they merely check the paperwork presented is iaw company procedures, etc the idea of a licensed engineer being "examined "by your average QA bod /bodess is laughable.
I work for one of the UK,s largest airlines and to my knowledge not a single licensed engineer is employed in a QA role ,mainly due to fact your average QA surveyor is paid a lot less than a LAE
I also work for one of the Uk's largest airlines - at LHR. All the QE's in our pt 145 group are licensed, including our manager, and we still examine engineers prior to granting company approvals.
