To write it off before it has even been formulated is both short sighted and somewhat arrogant. It suggests there can never be anything better than the scenario that exists today....As David suggested on Saturday it might not ever put archaeologist on the same 'life-dependent' level as engineer, surgeon or even architect, but it will be an elevation above and beyond the mish-mash that currently exists.
In the real world, however, the terms of the 'chartered status' will get written by exactly the same names that currently have the 'MIFA', so one would imagine they'll have to pitch the entry requirements in a self-inclusive way (or be out of a job)? - ergo chartered staus is unlikely to improve anything except the bank balances of the charter-ees :face-stir:
