"
A mechanic repairs and an Engineer designs. Sounds simple to me, unles those guys are out on the ramp redesigning things. Now that would esplain a lot from what I read here on these boards."
When was the last time you saw an "engineer" on a train designing anything?? Ever been in the "engineering" spaces on a ship??
"Engineer" like "scab" has different meanings to different folks..I would suspect they are known as "maintenance engineers" in most of the world, and North America is in the minority .....Now a "shade-tree mechanic" is a whole different scene
