As William and Harry prove - exam results do not make the man (or the pilot) - that is due to far more factors...
We agree on that crab, the 'more factors' in Wil's and Harry's case being their royal status.
As I said in my earlier post I have no beef with either of them or the work that they have done for this country (though to be fair, doing work for the country is kind of in the job description, and the least I would expect from a royal family).
The point is, however, that once they had decided they were going to be military pilots the establishment and all that that entails was going to bend over backwards to make sure that they became military pilots
because of who they are. If you're ok with that, then no problem. I'm not, which is why I said so.
