For goodness sake you lot who cares about the ATPL theory exams they are just a meaningless rote-learning-and-regurgitation hoop you have to jump through on the way to the good stuff, which is of course developing the situational awareness / judgment / motor skills that comes from spending a few years at the controls of a very large very fast passenger jet.
A monkey could pass the ATPL writtens with enough coaching and a monkey could also pass some of the airy fairy nonsense that passes for degrees these days, I think we've established that.
Piloting doesn't mean passing the ATPL writtens- piloting means possessing the necessary judgment and skills required to take 500 lives in your hands, plan and execute a safe departure from a snow bound European city, navigate across 12 hours of mountain ranges and war zones, and and successfully land on an Asian runway in typhoon season. It is a skill that to me is far above and beyond what any wet behind the ears "degree" is capable of teaching.
Show some pride in your profession!
