(Hint: I worked my way through college after getting my AA, and was flying for a regional) Worked out pretty well for me, but odd how the line I have been hearing since 2001 was "any degree, from any college" and now some places are starting to get a bit 'snobbish'
I think they do it to see how you react to it (translated, they want to break your balls to see how you handle it). I interviewed at a major many years ago and had the 4 yr college degree box checked. The pilot asked me if my college offered any thing more "technical", in a snobbish tone. Take the high road!
