What a well balanced person a chip on both shoulders.
You should know in our profession that there is a big difference between the "Mechanics" who help maintain our aircraft and who complete the pushback and the "Engineer' who signs the Tech Log for the work completed. Understand the terminology used in various "professions" and "countries" ( just for ColonelAngus, down south is NOT the world).
From the Oxford English Dictionary
a. Originally: a person who designs or builds engines or other machinery. Subsequently more generally: a person who uses specialized knowledge or skills to design, build, and maintain complicated equipment, systems, processes, etc.; an expert in or student of engineering. Freq. with distinguishing word.
From the later 18th cent. onwards mainly with reference to mechanical, chemical, electrical, and similar processes; later (chiefly with distinguishing word) also with reference to biological or technological systems.
chemical, electrical, genetic, mechanical, software, systems engineer, etc.: see the first element.
In this sense (but not in sense 3) the term may be applied to a person who operates and repairs equipment as well as to one responsible for its design and management.
