Large mistakes in aviation get you killed
I would agree if you added the word "Some". See A340 at CPT thread. Nobody killed.
Having worked as a professional engineer and these days as an airline pilot, I think I am suitably qualified to comment.
I'm not saying that pilots are better or worse than graduate professionals. I am only saying that a Comm or ATP is not remotely the same as a B.Eng. or B.Sc(Eng) and if you want a degree, I suggest that the syllabus changes to a graduate level. Won't be many ATP's around.............
