Yeah, I've got 2 friends did their training with dady's money and now both flying Airbus, both under 25 and didn't have any degrees. I am not sure if they had A Levels either.
Nothing wrong with being lucky bastards but if you can afford why not do a degree cos in future the companies will be very very picky employing their pilots if they are not already. There won't be many places to fill, just my opinion... or follow the trend and save up for a TR instead of bothering to study
