Engineer

As I recall, in aircraft trades, one was either a fitter (J/T and above) or a mechanic. Some of us did have other engineering qualifications such as HND, ONC C&Gs but they weren't Aircraft Maintenance qualifications. I agree with BEags, (now look what you've started) qualified Engineers design things and work out how to build them, then the rest of us maintain them. Engineer in many cases is a much overused title. Flight Engineers for instance don't exactly 'engineer' the flight.
Sorry for drift, video was awsome.
