Lightbulb conversion to JAR66 and all that c*@p

Well all is not well in the world of the U.K. L.A.M.E. .Take a look at the double sided A4 CHIRP newsletter and the latest tech log mag of A.L.A.E.( not yet on the website)
Is there any benefits in converting?I mean the cost is high if you want to put on more types, which you could not add under BCAR,
but if you want to move jobs you pretty much have to do it.
Training for the required modules seems to be pass the exam FAA style training and again it's all costly with most employers ducking out!
Agencies and employers in the very few jobs that seem to be about all require the latest spec mechanics with mega coverage but I wonder if they are actually filling these positions?
The various NAA's in JAA all have their own interpretations of what they see as an attempt to enforce U.K. /CAA regualation on them.
Some of the E.U. countries in JAA don't even have their own NAA set up yet!
This forum has been pretty quiet recently which I suppose reflects the doom and gloom in the world of the aviation mechanic.Closures and lay offs in Australia, Europe and N. America.The only growth in maint . is in China.
