ATPL holders or those holding Captaincy should get a Masters degree, when graduating from Academy, you should have a Bachelors.
The training should be Nationalised once again, the multi-choice exams and questionbanks burned to crisp and make the basic training 3 years, including subjects like Aviation Economy , analytics, Psychology, maths, physics,...
Just like Maritime Academy, that DOES get you a master degree when graduating.
It is utterly laughable to suggest that an ATPL is, or should be considered to be, akin to a post graduate qualification. It is a vocational, technical qualification; not an academic one. Nor is there any need for it to be academic.
