      Another good question Branflakes123,

      In short…No. As an engineer, i know how to fix the aircraft and i know how the systems work but i am not trained or licensed to fly. Look at it from another point of view – The pilots are trained to fly but they have no real idea of how a system works in depth like i do. Engineers need pilots and pilots need engineers. Without each other, neither of us would have a job!!
