Out of the running too unless they allow more A levels in, have Economics A level and an Economics based degree, although maths was harder than A level standard in the degree, still can't apply
Ah well thats life.
Having just read through the sponsorship info on the BALPA website, have been thinking.
Brits have informed BALPA:, a degree is said to be an advantage, so realistically they looking for people 22-26.
Still a bit shocked at the A Level criteria, and not only because I don't have 2 in the chosen subjects.
In all honesty I can't see why Economics is preferred, and I have Economics A level, yes there is a bit of basic maths, yes there is reading of graphs but there is also a lot of essay writing.
Chemistry, well if Chemistry is in it, why isn't Biology <?>, and before I get flamed I don't have Biology A level either, just thinking out loud.
I understand that Physics and Maths helps with ATPL exams, not sure if Economics does unless you are distracted and attempting to work out the profit maximising price of your course notes etc
In reality I think they would like to say only Physics and Maths but probably feel that is slightly too strict.
Anyway A level situation might change when Britannia officially publicise it but doubt it, same with hours of flying. Britannia haven't actually finalised plans now have they. Thats the optimist in me btw.
Time will tell,
Good luck to those that can apply, keep your chin up to those that can't.
And on for a final note, Malgus were advertising in the Metro today. Marketing is getting better, you have to send a letter off to the Heathrow division (good start, sounds impressive to those that saw the big headling DO YOU WANT TO BECOME A COMMERCIAL PILOT), then I looked at the address and Heathrow has moved to Berkshire
