Comparing yourself to Medical Specialists - you guys are truly delusional.
The anesthetist did a six year medical degree , and four or five years specialist training with extremely tough exam to both get even selected ,then pass.
The second officer did a 14 month course, at a vocational level , ie: TAFE level. The academic rigour of Aussie flight crew exams is low, all multi guess, and all exams from PPL thru ATPL could be easily completed in five months, - year 10 grads manage to get through
Then SO does a three month course to upgrade to FO , 3 to 6 month course (airline dependent) to upgrade to Capt.
If you think comparing yourselves to medical specialist is a valid comparison - God help you
