the various airlines schemes differ in their exact requirements.IMHO physics is seen as an advantage in that the candidate is more likely to cope better with the demands of the atpl syllabus.same with maths as it demonstrates reasonable numeracy.Remember when it comes to sponsorship the airlines are trying to minimise the risks of failure( and costs!).However, a good set of exam results in whatever subjects will probably impress as much as some mediocre "science" grades. Just as some exceptionally bright and gifted people have fallen by the wayside, so have the "arty" wannabees succeeded..what seems to matter above all is your own personal determination to fulfil your ambition to fly.what do others think?. .BTW, the very best of luck to you. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
