Your comparison is apples and oranges. Your simply flying an airplane, not solving the worlds problems. It a piece of paper that cost us much but does nothing except help us join the club. It speaks nothing of the character or the professionalism of the individual without one, but speaks volumes about those whining like a 5 year old with one.
You reek of entitlement.
Sorry you don't meet the requirements of the job, I guess, but they're requirements. Yes, Delta can change them if they wish. That's up to them, and if they dropped the degree requirement for non-Pinnacle guys tomorrow, I wouldn't even be talking about this. Most of the guys I heard whining when I was at Pinnacle were the ones WITHOUT degrees saying exactly what you are. The guys with the degrees didn't really care. The ones whining were the ones saying "I don't know why they require just a piece of paper." Who cares? They require it. Either get it or keep whining.
*I* reek of entitlement? I see requirements and if I want the job, I go out and make it to where I meet or exceed said requirements. How is that "entitlement?" Entitlement would be saying they should change the requirements to meet me since I'm "professional" and "do the same job already." I'm not sure that word means what you think it means.....
