Question

dont say no because i havent got my a-levels
Ok, let's assume that your life goes exactly according to plan, up to step D. Now it comes time for you to "apply to every airline and cargo airline on the earth". Don't you realize that you will be competing against applicants who DO have their a-levels (and higher). Don't fool yourself...the airline industry is extremely competitive.

Why would an airline hire you when they can hire another pilot with equal potential who has also demonstrated the ability to pass a higher level of academic studies?

Better question: Why are you so strongly against higher education, especially when you've learned through these pages that it will actually HELP you get an airline job?

I'm not telling you to go back to college. BUT, you will be doing yourself a huge disservice if you think that you will be on equal footing with other applicants.
