So this would make a C grade at A-level equivalent to an A at GCSE.
In my opinion, anything above a fail at A-level is very good as a CURRENT A-level student.
There is no A-level grade proxy for GCSE and vice-versa. They are different levels on the educational framework and a comparison such as that does not exist. It would be like saying an A at A-level is the same as a Pass at undergraduate level.
What is good and what is bad is purely subjective, though I can assure you that your thoughts are not shared by those in recruitment for careers that do care about academics. Unless the original poster is interested in airline mentorships this does not apply to him and as such is off topic.
