Post-Nominal Letters for Pilots?
- I was wondering if there are any post-nominal letters after your name when you've completed the qualifications from PPL straight through to a full ATPL license. Since these are pretty much 'qualifications', do they receive any sort of acknowledgement?
e.g. after Uni degree you get BA/Bsc/MA after your name like 'John Smith Bsc MA'
Is there one for professional pilots?
- Also, are there any specific titles that pilots are referred to by? I mean, the captain can of course be 'Captain John Smith' but what would the others such as first officers and second officers be called? (This includes outside the work area like when a doctor is called 'Dr John Smith' even when they're not working)
I just feel that after all the efforts of training and learning, pilots should receive more credit for what they achieved. Not saying this to just boast after becoming a professional pilot, but surely they should get some more recognition with a professional title whenever they go to meet someone new.
Thanks.
