One of our senior captains was furious when he applied to a major and was immediately rejected because he did not have a degree. I was just wondering which of the major airlines require a degree today and if folks think this will remain a requirement.

There are a ton of senior captains on our list without a degree. I was also wondering "if the hiring really picks up" do ya'll think they will drop the degree requirement first or the PIC requirement first?

Thoughts???
