Effortless

An ATPL theory takes 6 months, 9:00 – 17:00, 5 days a week, add another two hours per night for further study, providing you pass everything first time, which many do not. Flight training takes 10 weeks, averaging 4 hours per day. You show me a student alive today that puts that much work into his studies for the average degree.
