Spot on...(kind Of)
....You can become a pilot without a degree. You can also apply to fly as NCO aircrew without actually being the pilot, a branch in which I believe the RAF are currently short. I stand to be corrected on that
.
Like I said, I did, albeit briefly, meet a guy at RAF Coltishall who had graduated from Cranwell as an Officer (pilot) and was in the holding pool for pilot training. Very sketchy details but I think he had done A-levels and then worked in a bar - He was, however, very switched on just as good as anyone who had a degree. When I went for RAF selection I can't remember anyone there going for pilot who hadn't been to university.
Still, that is not to say you cannot become a pilot without one!!!
