But I'm not gonna convince anyone to leave...less competition for me.
Southwest doesn't require a 4 year degree either. I know 6 guys off the top of my head who were hired without one. This was over 15 years ago but I believe hiring standards will be loosening up very soon. The 737 type requirement is gone and I predict the 1,000 TPIC requirement will be history soon as well.
