I have also heard that there are moves a foot from shall we say more academic university's to challenge this degree.
I would be surprised if it stands to be honest as there is virtually zero academic content to be had for pilot training or ATPL ground theory.
The idea that you can spend 18 months learning to fly, then do a 4 week type rating and then pass your line training in 4 weeks and write an essay equals an academic degree is quite frankly farcical.
Mind you if they get 100 odd to sign up for it and pay the cash and then say sorry no can do its done its job.
