Or apparently someone that doesn't have one at all. I've been here 14 years, I knew that if I wanted to be at Delta Air Lines then I needed a degree. If they don't have one then they obviously didn't want to be here. The best pilots that I've flown with bar none were at a cargo airline that I flew for on furlough. When I got back to Delta and we started hiring I engaged the hiring department about exceptions to the 4 year degree requirement for some of these guys. The answer was absolutely not. So much for one standard.
