He's far from alone, I used to work with somebody who also had one of these "titles"...he offered to sign my passport photo's.....I "less than politely " declined.
As for post nominals, I also knew an engineer who had a selection of letters after his name, even included the courses / dates on his CV...alas, he didn't actually bother to do the courses and, a very cursory check revealed a glaring contradiction in the dates he helpfully provided.
His ultimate claim however was "Director Designate " for a now defunct cargo operator. Strangely, some simple enquiries revealed they'd never heard of him.
