Yes Ralph,
it went right over my head thankfully.
You see, we are on different frequencies. Now contact centre on 135.0, you're on the wrong one!

It's so incredibly easy to get a degree now (I can assure you that many degrees are damn sight easier than getting an ATPL, and require far less discipline!), and I have come across so many graduates who are unintelligent, unintelligible and lacking in common sense that I've lost faith in the system somewhat.
ATPL is a joke. It's 7 of the easiest exams you will ever do. If you compare it to a substantial Uni degree. Most first year Uni subjects are harder than ATPL with it's multiple-guess questions. ATPL is a complete joke and if you find it too hard go to the States and get theirs, then convert your licence.
Just about any education makes you a better person, as does sweeping the hangar floor or flying an approach in bad weather. However, in Aviation, there is no substitute for experience. Hours in the log book, boys and girls.

Examiner [points at a jet engine] "What is this?"
Student "A jet engine"
Examiner "How do you spell 'engine'?"
Student "e - n - g - i - n - e"
Examiner "Well done, you've passed!"
Doing the US ATPL and converting, however, shows that you know how to work the system to your best adavantage - if it works out, that is. That can't be said for many grads (including sad old me).
