I am proud to be a Pinnacle pilot and the experience I have had here over the last 13 years. There is not a pilot group out there that doesnt have issues at times, yes even Delta Pilots. Your definition of an educated pilot is not his experience but the piece of paper you hold so dearly. I could care less if this degree is waived or not but it does not define who I am as a Captain/Check Airmen/Sim Instructor or co-worker.

Being a professional is an important part of being a good Airline Pilot but I guess all you need is that degree!
