I doubt many ATPs toiled as long for their rating as long as
candidates for doctorates have in the halls of academia. But it does take different skill sets in most cases, doesn't it? lOn May 22, 9:12 pm, Le Chaud Lapin wrote: On May 22, 3:03 pm, Michael wrote: The truth of the matter is that in this forum, there is no opportunity to demonstrate aviation skill - that requires an aircraft. There is an opportunity to demonstrate aviation knowledge - but precious little of that is required to earn any certificate or rating, be it private, commercial, instrument, CFI, ATP, or A&P. Of course that's only my opinion, but at least it's an informed one - since I've earned all of the above and can compare that to the effort required to earn corresponding credentials in some of the other groups, of which I also . There is little comparison. Some have suggested that the ATP and A&P combined might be considered the Ph.D. of aviation. As someone who has also earned an actual Ph.D. I consider this laughable. The associate degree seems more comparable - and that's at the ATP/A&P level. Certainly a plausible explanation. Ph.D.? Chemistry or? Should be fun to bug you about wacky ideas I have from time to time to see if they make sense. ![]() -Le Chaud Lapin- |
