When you get a stack of resumes, you review them, and spread them out into different tiers. A college degree allows you to focus on specific candidates, and not waste your time with either the not qualified, or frauds. If someone has verifiable experience, I no longer need to look at their degree, as I am far and away more interested in their past job performance.

If Delta has access to all our records at Endeavor, the no longer need the degree to try and determine what kind of employee they are getting. They have hired several from here without degrees, all made it through training so far. the two the didn't make it, both had degrees.
