ATP is equivalant of master's degree?

I studied for my ATP written in 2 weeks. I don't think I could get my master's in two weeks.

I have my ATP and a Master's. They are not equivalent. Defending a thesis requires a lot of academic B.S. and satisfying a group of tenured PhD's. You can satisfy one...but not the other 3...then you satisfy another one but lose the first one...finally you get 3 on board...but never the last one. All four finally sign off after about your 100th rewrite...the last 20 rewrite's being nothing but formating and sentence reconstruction...not to mention strategic use of commas and colons.

It's largely academic hazing...but show's you know how to complete your research, while completing some graduate courses and satisfying a group of individuals that are rarely satisfied.

um, that was a joke about the ATP as a degree, now lets get our masters!!!!!!
 
That would probably be a sweet gig. But with a ASEL PPL, 97hrs. and a bachelor's degree, that job is light years away from me... How can mere mortals like myself ever become qualified for a job like that?

Wait...add about 7 more ratings, two more zeros to my flight time and another degree and I might actually qualify for an interview...;)
 
I knew a guy who lucked into a job at coke. 26 years old and he is an F/O making just over 100K (and they already typed him in it). Went to a party at his house, I am convinced he has the greatest job in the world. He had pictures from all over the world including pictures of riding camels in egypt. He has already flown to like five continents and he works with some good looking flight attendants. Fyi the flight attendants make 50K-60K, somewhere in that neigborhood. SWEET gig if you ask me.

Wow, it sounds really professional yet probably on of the best corporate jobs I hear of. I know a guy who works for Johnson and Johnson and his daugter tells me hes alover the place. England, Paris, Jamaca, Purto Rico, Germany....it goes on and on. Once you make it to the big time corporate gigs, it is the best life. (others can argue but to me it is)
 
Comparing ATP to a Masters?

Agreed.

No comparison whatsoever. Getting that degree and becoming ATP rated? That degree is much more hard to get. . .at least the 20 individuals I know who have them them have claimed. It's unanimous.

This was largely what I experienced when writing scientific documents! BLEARGH! By the end, what you've written is so sugar-coated and watered down, but the size of everything has increased threefold due to diplomatic text!

I prefer:
"Climb and maintain one-three-thousand, good rate up through 10."

Rather than:
"Initiate a moderate climb to 1.3x10^5, beginning the procedure with a slight pitch upwards to approximately 5º, making sure to not excee 1.5g's acceleration but enough to achieve at least a 2000fpm (standard error deviation +-50fpm) rate of climb. Begin leveling off at approx. 10% of your rate i.e. 200ft...."
 
What kind of masters would they expect? I cant imagine any sort of engineering degree, as if you have made it through a masters in, say, mech eng, you are probably not looking to fly airplanes for a living. Just curious.

I would guess any, just like the airlines dont care about what degree you have as long as you have a four year degree.

I doubt it. I am sure they are doing just fine with their GV

What info do you have that would lead you to doubt it? Many large, actually most large companies with flight departments have 2 or 3 different types of aircraft to serve different types of missions. Coke may very well only have the GV, I don't know, but chances are they have others of different types.
