Why would they want to act as guarantor? It just causes them extra work, which is why they have out sourced it and made the outsourcing attractive
.

The whole ethos of this scheme is supposed to be that it's going to be chosen on aptitude and not ability to pay. For the likes of me, and I'm sure many others, this would mean that they have to act as guarantors. My parents are not wealthy and being a university student I do not have collateral with which to secure a huge loan to train.

Maths and Physics plus another at ABB grades has always been a requirement of BA since I can remember applying back in the mid 90s
Having exceeded those requirements, naturally I would have liked them to be the requirements. The site claims minimum of BBC and unusually doesn't specify maths or physics unfortunately. I find this odd because everybody who wants to be a pilot or ever looks into it knows to take these two subjects.
