Makes me want to go to the "leaving the career thread" and keep planning my exit. This is becoming more of a lottery game and some of us can't keep playing and losing before life comes knocking. Oh well...

Yes, a minimum of a BA had always been the norm for being competitive for a job at a Major. That will change gradually over the next 5 years or so, we don't even hit the big retirement numbers until 2020-2022. Until the. It will remain competitive to get an interview and every box checked on your app helps. In addition to the BA, they are also measuring how long it took you to get it, type of degree and GPA. For the upteenth time....it's NOT enough just to have all the ratings and show up for work. If you're at a Regional and want to get to a Major and don't even have an AA degree yet...quite simply you haven't done your career research/planning very well. Make a "flight plan" for your career and follow it.
