For anyone that really wants to know send me a PM, how's that...

i have gotten an answer via a recent official gazette that to get any pilot's licence in the country i'm in one requires a high school diploma and yet, to become a Commander they follow what the JAR-FCL states which does not even require a high school diploma. As well, it's also written that an airline can make their own company policy and so far 2 airlines require a university degree even to fly for them as F/O much less become a Commander.

The JAR regs still boggle my mind, though, as one would think the minimum education requirement would be stated, no ? As in at least grade 10 or something....
