Degrees of flying skills

I would like to hear your comments about the article "Degrees of flying
skills" by David Learmont published in Flight International, 8-14 July
1998.

The article refers to the required level of education for pilots. The
author reports that an university degree or equivalent tends to be
perceived by some organizations (namely Vereinigung Cockpit and
Asociacion Espanola de Pilotos) as a potential reducer of accidents
involving poor situational awareness. Any members of VC or AEP on this
forum that could expand on this issue?

I would also like to know if there are members here involved with BA's
Airline Business Training (ABT) that wouldn't mind contacting me
privately to discuss the programme.

Many thanks.
