Are we mere technicians not professional enough now then, Simon? How many decades of carrying out PM do you need to have done before “they” trust you, I wonder?
On the other hand, I have come across instances where PM had been “carried out” (well, signed off, at least)
en mass from the comfort of the chief tech’s chair. If you want me to name names, you’ll need to wait until I’ve written my book!
A job title, or names on some register, doesn’t do much for me at all. What
does impress, however, is integrity, honesty and a willingness to work (…and, yes, I am well aware that I am
yesterday’s man. Proud to me called such, in fact)!
