A degree is a virtual must... Let me put it this way: to get a call even with a degree is a challenge. Now, imagine your odds without a degree...
Were you a check airman or in your lingo, a TRI/TRE?
Aside from flight time, what else do you bring to the table? How many other checkboxes can you check off?
Unlike in Europe, major airlines don't care about type ratings or time in type, nor do we hire DEC's at this level...
The question is... what separates you from another regional jet captain who's familiar with the US regs and how things are done here?
