Being a professional is an important part of being a good Airline Pilot but I guess all you need is that degree!
Instead of these pilots raising themselves to the standard, these pilots are lowering the standard to themselves. That is the core issue. That is not the type of pilot I want to work with. It is what it is, but do not expect the pilots that met the requirements (the current Delta pilots) to be happy about it.
