Question

I'm getting the impression here that an A level in physics/maths is pretty much essential?
I don't plan on doing either of them - they bore me and I really couldn't handle science again. Would not doing them hinder my chances of becoming a career pilot (so to speak)? Or is it simply a case of "having the edge" ?
I did a bit of research lately in terms of methods of getting a pilots licence and I'm fairly certain that the RAF would train you up from scratch to a pilot, so I guess if all else fails I can try for them, even if there is a minimum four year commitment or something.
Blah.
