Just for the record, the BA flight into LHR was handled by the first officer who was probably hired like most BA first officers are hired - with 200 hrs straight onto a 737 or A320 or maybe even a 757. Dangerous? No

Make the Commerical licence more difficult in line with the rest of the world, not just Europe (Try Australia!) intead of giving it away and hoping they learn something with a CFI ticket.

Maybe the FAA ATP should contain 12000 questions with 5% new questions each month to stop rote memory passing exams. Then the flight test could be close to 3 hrs too. That might weed a few out.
