this is certainly an angle to consider. New type ratings here are certainly a ton of independent study for systems. However I would think that ones ability to study would be evident by other ratings/ college degree. I can definitely see your point on this way of looking at it. But I just think there are better ways and glad we are taking a different route.

Through these doors walk...
some of the biggest egos.
Never stop learning and be humble enough to learn something from EVERYONE would be my epitaph. Pride and ego are fine, superiority and ignorance, not so much.

Some things happened at Colgan and Pinnacle Airlines that might refute your claims that a US ATP is a certificate of competency in aerodynamic knowledge and adequate training.
I’m in favor of practical knowledge in aircraft operation versus emphasis on community service. That’s all I said. Please don’t take it as an attack on your viewpoint. We can both be right on this. Or wrong.

As a former tester I can claim that what you guys know or don't know about aerodynamics is detrimental.
Until you've had to deploy the spin chute, you won't understand.
Stick to what you are taught. P U S H - R O L L - P O W E R - S T A B I L I Z E
That's about all you need to know.
As far as who/what/where/why the kompany hires - none of my business. That is their business. I just get paid to fly the plane.

Gawd. Every time I walk thru those doors into the JFK crew room I cringe at that sign. We need humble confidence. Humble like you said, to know we must always learn to be better at our profession. We aren’t the best, that’s an unattainable goal. Confident, knowing that as a humble team we will strive for the highest level of safety.

Having pride in what you do and who you are is a solid trait of a grounded professional. You should strive to better yourself. Always.
It's a thought process.

Did UPT. And I did civilian CFI before the military equivalency test was available. UPT was way harder but for a lot of different reasons - one year long, evaluated every minute even when off duty, little chance for do overs, volume of information etc. But the CFI oral and check ride were actually hard too. CFI you could take as long as you wanted or needed to prepare and if you fail just do it again. No limit on do overs.
