I have to question what the "possible" returning LAME's are going to do, I certainly do not want to see any person loose there job. But the main reason they were taped was due to the fact the aircraft they could sign for are no longer flown by QF (Dec 27th for the 767) Retrain them... no chance it will cost to much!
So if they return, what are they going too do.......over paid AME's!!! The current "A'" license people will be able sign for more!
