When an airline pilot asks if there is a doctor on board, they are looking for a medical doctor, not someone with a doctorate in history, law, economics, chemistry, or physics.
No.
In my home country (Germany), the Dr. is part of my name. So no way to omit it. If you have the title, you may use it.
Same (and even more) in Austria. There even the Master equivalent "Dipl.-Ing. or Magister" are part of your name, and you are officially adressed in that way: "Herr Diplomingenieur XXX".
If it comes to an medical Emergency they either have the Medical Doctors registered (like LH), or they ask if somebody is on board. Depending of the country paramedics can be of a very good help for an emergency (better than a dentist...).
I use my title in business correspondence, but not private.
My Title is stored in my Airline Profile because it is part of my name. I never experienced any difference in the treatment.
