Will a lack of basic quals hold me back?
This is one for the more senior pilots that perhaps have an input when CV's fly over desks.
I have NO basic GCSE's as i was a bit of a prat in my youth and wanted to work. I managed to talk my way in to a job as an aprentice mechanic and then joined the Army where i spent 10 years as a technician. I'm now a design engineer with EADS (Airbus parent company, i dont have anything to do with that though!) and have numerous qualifications in my field.
So thats me, but back to my question, will i be overlooked because i have no basic quals?
OAT have said they would be happy to accept me on experience but as a business i would expect that, i'm not so sure an airline would be so forgiving.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
