Unfortunately this is not the 1960s where airlines took guys without a degree. Why they even have this requirement is beyond me. But it's just another hoop we both have to jump through I guess.
A degree is IMPORTANT!
Analyze it anyway you want, it proves to an employer you did what it took to achieve a higher education.... It is not about flying an ILS, it is about life skills and experience for a well rounded professional. Simple.
