There's a significant overlap in scope between Aircraft Maintenance Engineer, supposed to be a generic world-wide tradesperson, and Aircraft maintenance technician, which is the same thing but focused on the United States. I'm not sure if merge is the best solution, but the pages do need some title and content reshuffling.
Since an aircraft maintenance technician and engineer are broadly understood to refer to the same occupation, one solution is to move Aircraft Maintenance Engineer to Aircraft maintenance engineer (currently a DAB page), turn it into a WP:CONCEPTDAB, redirect Aircraft maintenance technician to it, and then let Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (Canada) and Aircraft Maintenance Technician (United States) (this one) to be its country-specific subarticles. P.S. I have no opinion on proper casing of the later two. No such user (talk) 09:17, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

I would like to address that the photo shown in this article should be replaced with a different photo. My reasoning is merely opinion.
Though the photo depicts aircraft line maintenance, I feel that it's a misrepresentation of safe and thorough aircraft maintenance due to the fact the nose landing gear wheels are being replaced at the same time could turn fatal as the jack could fail and the nose of the aircraft could violently fall. Though I have not read the maintenance manual for this aircraft type, most aircraft maintenance manuals will have in bold red lettering not to remove both tires off the axle and only remove one wheel at a time. It doesn't matter if it's partial jacking or full jacking. I feel that showcasing a wheel change with no tires left on the gear is an embarrassment to the industry. I understand the context of this photo is simply an innocent photo of mechanics uploaded to Wikipedia to help the reader understand the topic. 73.102.74.197 (talk) 14:34, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
