The airlines do hire qualified pilots without degrees, but you are most likely more competitive with a 4 year degree.
Yes, they hired me and I did and still do not have a 4 year degree.
By all means list your credentials. But do not expect an invite unless you know for sure that you're in that 5 or less percent ( that number may even be generous) that actually get the shot without the degree. Instead of sitting around and just waiting over the next year or two go get some credits and try to finish up a degree. You are doing yourself a disservice by approaching it any other way. All this applies if you're truly motivated to get on at United.
Again, why such a debate on a clear cut topic?
