Angry TCX and XL sponsorship - MATHS

Why have these two sponsors decided that applicants must have both MATHS and PHYSICS among their A-levels, not just "preferably" like all the other airlines. TCX and XL are automatically excluding a lot of candidates that would otherwise be very good - if you can pass the tests they set then who cares what A levels you have - especially if you have a degree as well - although they don't seem to consider this in the application form.
Sorry - just a general rant - guess who doesn't have maths A-level?? Have physics though - which is basically the same - but TCX/XL make it quite clear you need both. Ooo I have a degree to, but it's not in maths - and a PPL. Oh well.
Lets just hope not all future sponsorship schemes go this way.
