I really hope this isn't true. The reason people put in the work, spend the time, and the money to earn a degree is precisely because companies like Delta require it. For that requirement to apply to all but a small group of pilots is well, just not fair. Getting TPIC is something that is largely out of one's control, especially at an airline, but not getting a degree is a conscious choice.
