Unless your going for a sponsorship , then educational qualifications make no difference whatsoever . Only thing most airlines are interested in is your licence, flying experience and Type rating if applicable ,and of course personality , i.e can i sit next to this person for 10 hours plus without wanting to punch them ? !! often it is the latter what counts most.
Never ceases to amaze me how small this industry is either , student88 will no doubt be accumulating a black book of useful contacts in his job , worth much more than A Levels , Degree , PHD , MBA , OBE etc .
The Airline i first flew with ending up employing about half a dozen ops bods as fO'S
I also have a fair few friends flying with Major UK Airlines who have no educational qualifications whatsoever ...... dont get hung up over it
