Just because someone doesn't have a college degree doesn't mean they don't deserve to fly for a major airline. Why don't you ask Richard Branson, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates etc how their "short cuts in life" worked out for them?
The big colleges make a lot of money convincing people they need an expensive degree to be successful in life. Not necessarily a necessity in this industry anymore.
Thousands of flight hours with hundreds of close calls under your belt is worth more than a degree in social sociology, and can't be earned online.
I understand that some people need to rationalize to justify their monthly payment to Sallie Mae for that precious piece of paper.
