PDR. You miss the point completely despite the fact that it has been pointed out to you several times.
1. Piloting commercial airliners (ATPL - Airline Transport Pilots Licence) IS a profession that is an obvious fact. The profession is entered by passing the ATPL exams AND gaining experience -1500 hours in multi crew airplanes- AND passing a practical exam.
2. The Spanish authorities have equated an ATPL to a degree for the purpose of grade classification in their existing system of pensions and social security benefits. They have NOT said that all ATPLs will be awarded honorary degrees. They could have opened a whole new classification in their system just for ATPLs but they have preferred to consider an ATPL as a degree to keep it simple. They have done the same for other professions, for example for Army officers or Merchant Navy officers.
3. No one is saying that a degree in Telecommunication engineering is the same difficulty as David Beckham studies (Staffordshire University) or for that matter an ATPL. What they are saying is that they will be classified the same for social security purposes.
