I assume that was a sarcastic response. You still need to have your wits about you to get an airline job, don't misinterpret what I am saying.

There is a lot to know about the systems and limitations of the aircraft. The routes you fly. The airports you go to and their alternates. The way the MRA are calculated for driftdown and depressurization over terrain. The suitable airports enroute. The fuel policy of your company. Memory items for the aircraft you fly. LVO requirements and procedure. ETOPS. NOTOC and DG requirements. PRM requirements. Pax handling considerations. RNAV requirements. RVSM. Metric altimitry including QFE procedure in a QNH FMS. Low temperature altimitry. Wind corrections. De-ice procedures and holdover timing. Low temp operations/ high temp operations. etc etc etc.

All I am saying is that a huge portion of the UK ATPL exams consist of totally useless information that you will forget a few months later as you will never use it again.
