As time goes by and automation takes over more and more of the flying process, the need to learn and understand all the theory diminishes.
In ten or twenty years the occupants of aircraft cockpits will consist of a computer, a dog and one person.
The computer will do all the flying.
The dog will ensure that nobody interferes with the computer.
The person will feed the dog. The person cannot be cabin crew because the dog will not be prepared to eat the stuff that they feed to the passengers.
Just make sure that you are fully familiar with the intricacies of dog feeding and all will be well.
