Batty/JAR Monkey,
Spot on.
I have got the vast total of 3 GCSE's. Not in Maths either!
It didn't stop me getting into the London Stock Exchange and eventually becoming a Market Maker for large merchant banks.
That gave me the money to go to OATS at 25 years old....I had worked soooo hard to get that City Job.
I passed OATS with no real big problems.
I got into ATP Academy at 27 years old, because I had the right attitude, right age, seemed good enough and proved it. I guess my LIFE EXPERIENCE helped a lot.
I then got my job on a 757. I have not had to resit one single bit of anything since getting the offer. So would a degree help? Bollo??s it would....
Exams count for Naff all.
If you have the right outlook, are not a ****, you will succeed if you keep at it.
I know Batty from our days at OATS. He is exactly what I say from the above.
Don't listen to Ronchonner (or whatever he is called now). All our circumstances are different. Just like every Chief Pilot's are........
Stick at it all you wannabees.
