Short Circuit:
Cat A licensed certifiers (holding a CASA Cat A License) will join the ALAEA, because they are "Licensed", join forces with B1 & B2 certifiers in the ALAEA.
I agree with you 100%. Regardless of what QF tries to do to have other unions cover the A licences, the A licences will realise that joining the ALAEA and B1 B2 licences will be their best option for effective representation. Eventually, the ALAEA will get a seat at the table for the agreement that covers the A licence.
It's called the Australian
Licenced Aircraft Engineers Association for a reason.
