Red face FLYBE Sponsorship and A Levels!

I need anyone who has applied to Cabair for Flybe sponsorship to help me with a little research!!!!!

As and when y'all get replies I would like to know what kinda A levels/ degree's y'all have, and I'll tell you why.

I applied last year and got refused at app form stage, which narked me a bit. I have d's in Economics English Lit and G.S, dropped out of Uni 'cos I discovered I didn't want to be a shrink and decided that I may be able to make a living doing something I enjoyed.

Flying is NOT a purely theoretical pursuit and requires a significant amount of very different skills to those needed to pass lots of A levels while discovering that the more you live the less you know, and what the hell am I learning about fiscal policy for?!!

Cabair are charging 50 quid a pop for stage 2, and although I understand the need to limit applicants, if they thought about it a bit they could come up with a pretty steady income from these tests.

Anyway, I was in two minds about applying again, and didn't in the end. Can anyone give feedback on results and qualies when they get 'em! Cheers
