I don't think airlines grill you too much over your academic record. So long as you pass thier entry requirements and can demonstrate suitability for the job you should be fine. I know pilots who didn't go to uni and are airline flying and those that have but got degrees in business or archaeology. They're pilots too. A degree isn't necessary at all but you do grow up a lot. I wouldn't of had the maturity I have now to start training if I was 18....But that's just me.
