Ah! This is good, brings me to something I've always wanted to know and always have been skeptical about... Sorry in advance, but this thread is going to be hijacked (can I still use that word?) slightly.
School principles say, "you need great marks to become a pilot."
"Only 70! You need 90's + to become a commercial pilot," says the teacher.
Now, I'm not going to lie, I'm not a grade A student, as much as I'd like to be! Also, I am embarrassed to say that when it comes to school study I am one of the laziest little
pr!cks there is. But, I do want to be an airline pilot and do show enthusiasm in any study aviation related.
So, for those of you about to throw your monitors out the window screaming "get to the FARKING POINT KID," I put it to you - do you have to be a 99.99999 student to become an airline pilot?
Are there any airline pilots on this very board that just barely passed year 12 or even failed?
Love to see the thoughts, opinions and actual stories people have to tell.
Kind regards,
Nick
