Steve,

I think you already know my feelings about this ridiculous A Licence, one of the worst things EVER to happen in the Industry, and I am glad I am retired now and will not have to see it.

This Union thing is almost as ridiculous, the Craft Unions are saying that these AMEs are just going to be AMEs with a Licence, okay, well using that logic (as you know) I was an Apprentice AME for 5 years, then an AME just for a few months until I was granted my first Licence ( a real one NOT an A Licence off the weetbix box) which I then held for more than 40 years.

So I guess you could say I was an AME that held a Licence (real one) for some 40 years, I feel guilty now for being in the ALAEA all those decades.
