I know plenty of guys that do not have a degree that would be great pilots to have on our seniority list. I also know just as many guys with degrees that I would question the sanity of any interview panel that hired them. All of these PNCL guys without degrees could knock out an online degree in the next 12 months just to check the box if they needed to, but would that make them a better Delta pilot?

It seems to me that this is more about feeling shafted that some of us had to get degrees and take risks in our careers to get to Delta, now there will be some that get in without doing what we had to do. I'm almost 100% certain that if theyse guys have to go through the same interview "process" that we did, the one's who we don't want won't get in, with or without a degree.
