195,

Looks pretty good to me.

WRT a levels, in a recent cadet sponsorship advert, less than a month ago, it said minimum 2 A levels "academic type subjects" grade C. Maths and Physics obviously fall into that category and would probably be a good combination, but I'm sure you wouldn't have to do both.
(The advert was on www.aviationjobsearch.com) (http://www.aviationjobsearch.com))
All the best!

I dont mean to put you down but I would make sure you got the spelling correct. I doesn't matter how good your Resume' is if it has speeeling mistakes in it the boss will throw it in the bin. :)

BA sent back my application with a note on it "Need to know about ordinary qualifications please" beside my Leaving Cert (A-Levels) results. There are three levels, Higher, Ordinary and Foundation in Maths, and I studied ordinary. Anybody have an idea what they're on about? There is no contact number on the letter, only an address to return the application to.

:-(

I think it says at the top of the form to enter maths, science and english subjects first. Basically, if have done ordinary level maths for the leaving cert, then enter the exact result(A2, B1 etc) and the level you took it at(Ordinary) beside the subject.

Hope this may help!
