You are comparing two vastly different skill sets, job functions, and educations. I don't know about your airline, but when I go to work, I don't read case studies and then write a summary about the upcoming leg. While we're talking about lawyers, did you know that in California one can become a lawyer without ever attending law school? It's true. Are you going to paint all lawyers (or at least all CA lawyers) into a lower class since some among them didn't submit to the same lofty educational standards as others?
I know plenty of pilots with law degrees, MBA's, and any other professional certification under the sun. I also know pilots who didn't complete high school. Can't necessarily tell the difference in the flight deck.
-On the other hand, I think you proved your own point rather well.
You know "plenty" of pilots with law degrees, mba's etc? Not calling you a liar, but I find that REALLY hard to believe. Could it be that you exaggerated to make your point? I've been in the 121 world since the mid nineties for two airlines and have NEVER flown with either.
Seriously, how many have you ACTUALLY flown with? One? None? Be honest.
