No argument from me - as I have repeatedly said I support the idea that steering aluminium rates as a Profession, right up there with Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers and Accountants. Just don't try calling it a degree because (as you so plainly put it) you don't need that level of education to fly a plane.

Finally, I wonder if any flight students would think about suing because they didn’t get a job at the end of the course?

What about these fifty? Or these?
