Licence is one thing, what you do or able to do with is another

To be fair, that's perfectly true.....however.....as boeing eng also points out, the erosion of standards and the criteria for both training potential engineers and their subsequent employment is equally valid.

I am bemused as to how 12 weeks " O.J.T" experience can be classed as the equivalent of 3 years experience for example.

Presumably, in this 12 week period, the trainee engineers encounter the whole range of problems experienced in either a Line or Base environment then ?.....erm, NO. And lets not forget that OJT also supplies a convenient source of cheap labour for an operator...albeit supervised of course, but still a useful source.

There's also a developing, and very disturbing to be blunt, trend towards the financial exploitation of potential engineers...now whose going to be the main beneficiary there I wonder ?

That, and whilst it undoubtedly benefits a student, the increasing use of VLE to reduce direct training times is also detrimental to gaining practical experience.
