I went all the way on my education and have taken advantage of it on my business....., not so much on my aviation career, I haven't come across any situation during my time at the airlines in the US or elsewhere when a higher academic degree has been needed...., this here is a technical career, we are operators, we don't build the contraptions
Now back to the topic...., What on earth does that has to do with this thread?????
