It looks like you are a US pilot. Don't take this wrong but US ATP's don't have any theory knowledge. The ATP written is 100 mutilple choice questions.
Looks like the USA is quite a dangerous place to fly as a Passenger. Imagine to sit in an aircraft and your flight crew does know only shxt...
But then, looking at the statistics someone could draw the conclusion that the system in USA isn't that bad after all?
Yes, there are only 80 multiple choice question, but that doens't mean you don't have to study your material. Especially if you go into your 2 1/2 hours oral... Does JAA have an oral exam?
But then, I know probably also only shxt, because I don't have a JAR ATPL. On the aircraft I fly (737), I often wondered, if we could take the little standby compass out of its housing, and replace it with a tiny fish. So, in times of high workload, you would just pull down the standby 'fishpass' and have a relaxing look at your little companion.
