I'd just give it a go.
Better to have a good flyer with low qualifications and a good personality than a good flyer with good qualifications and a bad personality. That's only my way of thinking though. I/We are not airline recruitment specialists.
I'd rather spend 10hrs on the flight deck with a person I can get on with and trust at the end of the day.
Give it a go ... we're all taking risks here, too old / no degree / too young? / foreign the list goes on.
