Certificates and Terminology
How are CAA certificates for working on aircraft different from the FAA A&P etc.? The great unwashed over here have a million theories/stories, but I'd rather get my info from people who work in a CAA environment. I am expecting the snide with the serious. Is the CAA technician/mechanic/engineer/whatever certificate better or worse than an A&P? This isn't intended to start a fight over which system is better or worse, just to compare the differences between them.
Personally, I'm an A&P R&E in the land of marginal beer. I like being able to be assigned to anything on anything, but sometimes it seems it would be nice to really good on one or two airplanes, instead of being a jerk of all trades.
And could some tell me what a fitter is/does?
