i think I need to add the ATPL is a qualification as well as a licence,
That is not the view of the CAA!
why can retired ATPLs not retain an ATPL up to any age, but with PPL priviledges,
They can, I have one and do!
these days nurses qualify with a BSc
Then why not become a Doctor? Neither a nurse nor a policeman needs a degree to do their job.
I spent a long time in the RAF training people with and without degrees, with a few exceptions I could not tell the difference.
