Thanks for the reply mayday. I understand what you were saying and it is true in Scotland. But my main issue is with how the exam is viewed in england as that is where I had to come to. Understandably BA will say to themselves if he can't even go straight onto year 1 at uni, then how can we trust him to complete ATPL theory to our desired level ?. It makes perfect sense, and that is why I am saying that BA should consider lowering the educational bar slightly lower to accomodate for people who are at an unfair advantage due to the type of exams they had to sit.
Also I would have still paid full price in Scotland as I am a UK (england) citizen.
