The simple answer Kate is that A-levels or anything else from school or college really matter.
The more complex and useful answer though is the following question:
I have 240 cv's on my desk applying for the post of First Officer at my small airline. They all have less than 400hrs. I only want to interview 40 at most. Do I start my selection by binning the ones with no A-levels or the ones with 3 or more A-level A to C's?
So that's your CV in the bin at a the first stage.
Its a hard world.
