Deep_stall, thanks for your reply.
I just want to clarify that I never meant to imply that I thought I was over-qualified to be a pilot (i.e. fly the aircraft). I simply meant I would be considered over-qualified in so far as I would exceed the educational requirements necessary to obtain a place on the training course.
I am by no means dangerous for the job or believing that a degree in Engineering means I can automatically fly an aircraft well.
Thanks
Keeley
