There are a lot of attributes a prof pilot should have... I read a long time ago that one of them is that he/she will not readily take short cuts. If you are the type of person who wants slice a bit off here, bend that rule there or make that dodge to get things done any old how, then you are not welcome in this industry.
Try to project yourself a few years further on. How would you feel if a budding pilot wanted to skirt around the exams knowing yourself how much time , effort and money you had spent in order to pass them?
If you or anyone else cannot see the relevance and importance of the exams, then do us all a favour and stay on the ground.
