It is their show and they can run it any way they like. For those that want a job at a Major, earn the degree. For those like me that took a decade to earn the undergraduate, consider a Masters. They can be affordable and it's a great way to improve yourself and help your resume stand out! It's also a great way to kill time in a hotel room....just my worthless two cents.
Delta will not hold that against you in any way. What they don't like is someone who took 6 years to get through school with no real reason.
