How much of the ATPL's requires a good knowledge of French?
I stated that having obtained the qualifications I have, the ATPL's are still tough, and not only in quantity.
If I took things I really enjoyed at school, I'd have some degree in Sports science, and all we are trying to say is that to have a good foundation for what is to come with the ATPL's, a good knowledge of Maths and Physics is needed.
I dont see how you can argue with that, perhaps you are a little out of touch, seeing as O-levels were replaced by GCSE's maybe 15-20 years ago.
