Scary thing here is that a few people think that You stop studying after getting your ATPL certificates where this is actually only the start as many here know... and those who do not agree are generally the ones who complain about the axehole examiner that failed them in this or that occasion.
For those who think there should not be any "academic" preparation in pilots training, I (and for sure many more here) can easily tell you that you can spot immediately a cadet who went through his ATPL by learning the database by heart with a few very simple questions like "can you tell me how a jet engine works ?" and get answers like "you need to check N1, EGT and N2 and if it's green it works".
It does not surprise me anyway that guy_incognito apparently wants to quit the job ; I honestly believe You should do something else based on your comments in different threads.
