You dont sound confident!

I can understand why others are upset if the MEC's are doing back alley agreements but when others base their opinion not about a Pilots professionalism, flying ability and experience but solely on if he has a Degree or not is way off the range.

Even if (which I dont believe) every Military hired at Delta had the magic 1500/1000 those times were never competitive versus a guy with 11,000TT 9000PIC JET 121. So when we talk about standard min qualifications thats not what they hire at. Lets say you have a pilot with said degree(non military) and had those mins and got his 1000PIC turbine in a King Air/ Pilatus. There is no way he would be looked at even though he meets the min but your pilot group is majority ex military right?

Contradiction either way you look at it!
