What are career prospects like for newly licensed ATPL holders? I have no A-Level's at grade C+ and therefore no University degrees so is this likely to hold me back from becoming an airline pilot?
I wouldn't worry, I hold crap qualifications. Absolutely failed all my a-levels with big fat Us and my GCSEs are mediocre. I'm not a pilot (one day hopefully) so I can't say for sure but it's more about networking in this day and age rather than a-levels...and expect to pay your own type rating, which can be as high as 30k.
