Lots of b@llocks being spouted on here.
As long as you meet the minimum educational requirements, and in my case even though I didn't, the rest is unimportant.
OASC, AIB are interested in totally different things in a pilot than superflous academic rubbish.
We are not interested in swotty geeks with degrees any more than thickys.
We are looking for people that can do the job. End of.
If you are interested, I have 4 3's at standard grade, and an A in A level Design (read woodwork. I was really good. no seriously, you should have seen my fruit bowl.)
Both RAF and RN have passed me at OASC and AIB.
