Many of us, including myself attended real Universities and attained real degrees while also completing flight training on the side.
It was a tremendous accomplishment and I am a much more well rounded person because of it. Getting the "Aviation degree + flight ratings" bundle was an option I refused to even consider.
I wanted much more for myself.
That's great that you value the choices you've made in life. Your self-righteousness, however, may be a little off putting. I would hope that one's definition of "well rounded" includes humility.
The bottom line is that American Eagle prefers applicants with aviation degrees or they would not be offering this bonus. These are the clear facts. If you cannot understand this, you really need to get over yourself.
