I've been in your situation myself. After my first year at Sixth Form my results were far from pretty, CDDE. I understand where you come from but it really is a case of sticking at it. I wanted to leave too and the pressing desire to commence my flight training was always there as well. The grass isn't as green as you mite think though. As mentioned above times are tough in the industry, but every industry is struggling. Finding a part-time job in anything at the moment is difficult, I managed to get myself a job as a barmen after searching for near-on two months for anything
Your A-Level results are dictated by what you put in. After pulling my finger out I managed to up my results to BBB with nothing but hard work. If your still in your first year you have plenty of time to repair any damage already done. If your in your second like I was, it's time to knuckle down!
You will never be disadvantaged for having qualifications, only having too few. All the best in your decision
