Attn: Moderators
There is some good info in here that should be archived. Should this thread be moved out of the Temp/Test/Misc to another place?
[Agreed. Thread moved. S. Buchanan]

Thank you, Sir.
All my adult life, 15 April has been... a necessary evil. I now have a positive outlook; when I next write that IRS check, I will smile when I think of the "flying monkeys" my taxes pay for. Hooah!
(You may now return to the original topic.)

That one will open a can of worms. Let's get into the Certified vs Certificated discussion.
As much as I don't like using titles, I did earn my A&P and IA. If you want to call me a mechanic, I won't correct you. If you want to call me one of the others, that's fine too. Just like some doctors ask you to just call them by their first name.
I liked the comment on Accountant vs CPA. That's really the perfect analogy. I'm the former, but never took the time to get the latter. Those that did really earned it.
Am I right in saying that there is never an airworthiness signiff on an experimental AB plane except the original FAA or DAR inspection, which is more of a paperwork issue than an inspection? Condition for safe operation and in an airworthy condition depends on the type of certificate held, right?

And with engineers. Take an 8 week IT technical seminar - and you're an "engineer".

I will use the phrase "my A&P" specifically when it relates to my condition inspection and associated artifacts. (Of course, on my last condition inspection, it was "my A&Ps" - it was great having an extra set of eyes and related discussion)

I agree, engineer doesn't always mean much. You don't very often hear people referring to their PE, which means a lot more.
As in most of these cases, there are exceptions. I've known engineers who had no formal education in engineering, but we're fantastic engineers. I've known mechanics with no A&P who were great mechanics. I've known A&P's who I'd never let close to my airplane if there were tools around.

If an A&P didn't want to be called a A&P, we wouldn't have trained to be an A&P!

And to muuddy the waters even further, in some countries "engineer" means what we call an "A&P".

Do lawyers, priests, electricians, etc object to being named as such?
