For my two cents worth. I do not care what they call me, just pay me the big bucks.
I am licenced and still call myself a mech.
Think money not status.
Agreed with completely. Throw money not kudos.
I've been a mechanic for over 30 years, motorbikes, cars, trucks, light aircraft and medium helicopters. Its all nuts and bolts only arranged differently.
