Pilot Selection Survey
The Guild of Air Pilots recently conducted a survey of airline expectations and requirements for the employment of low hour commercial pilots.
A representative sample of ten UK airlines ranging from large scheduled carriers, regional operators to charter airlines was asked to complete a seven question survey. Seven airlines completed the survey form.
The results give an indication of what these airlines look for in a potential candidate.

Airlines commonly require university entrance level education of newly qualified pilots.
Some airlines expressed concern that many new pilots lack knowledge of commercial operations and/or the realities of the airline career.

This Survey is over 5 years old. Only 1 out of those 10 airlines is currently recruiting. Yes it brings out some important debates about the quality of airline pilot candidates. Dont use it to make any career/training decisions. The market has changed, it's out of date.

4KBeta, when they say
what they mean is education sufficient to be able to get into a University, ie, A levels. They are not stating they require graduates.

I know that...hence the Degree vs Training debate is about going to uni or starting training, I can see why you may of thought I meant graduates and you probally assumed I missed the 'entrance requirements' BUT I didn't 
And...I did not know the survey was 5 years old so as pointed out, its probally irrelevant now..just says Updated Jan 2008
