Why do I need to quote evidence? If the ground school exams have a significant maths and physics content then obviously further education in these subjects would give you an advantage over people that don't. I'm not saying it will make you more employable, but a good knowledge of these subjects will help you progress through your airline training easier.

If you get bad marks in your atpl exams because you struggled with the maths and physics elements it will be quite costly for you. If you are just finishing school, doing a-levels are free. If they help you pass your atpl exams even by just a fraction, then in my opinion they are a must.
