At least the French aknowledge the fact that Airline pilots with an ATPL should be given equivalent official degrees, in this case a degree between Bachelor and Master, or the equivalent of the former "'Licenciate" or 4 academic degree.
At least 2000h. Of FORMAL TRAINING, MUCH MORE INTENSIVE THAN AT UNIVERSITY before your first job.
Yeah , I'm pretty much willing to bet that I studied much harder for my bachelor's in mechanical engineering than you did for your 14 ATPL ground exams. But then again, I only went to Stanford University; so I'm sure the academic standards at Stanford weren't up to par with those of the fine flight training organization you attended....
