Ok, last post off-topic!
P1 Forever: I agree with you! average jo will be more likely to get a degree than ATPL! for a start, you need to have a specific natural aptitude to become a pilot which cant be "studied". A degree you just need to have the right grades in some presiously general subjects...You can be the brightest man on earth, but if you dont have the natual talent skills required for a pilot, you cant do it! (ignoring the recent debates on having a large wallet guarantees training regardless)!
Ok Back on topic!!
not a pilot
