YouNeverStopLearning
I will assure you I have got 3 different ATPL, no validation but genuine licences.
But I will tell you and many 10000 hr + pilots will agree that if you approach the profession of an airline pilot with the attitude of a lawyer you never get airborne.
That part you will only start to understand if you recognise not only what is required by law to pass your exam but also that part that is not in the books.
So just start with part one and life will teach you part two.
By the way nice name you got yourself YouNeverStopLearning and very revealing.
