No interview and no 4 year degree, you do the math. Don't think it's fair, don't think it's going to change....
Same story with a relative of mine. 10,000+ hours, LCA, 737 and A320 types, Distressed former ALPA, internal recs, etc.
Everything you want from a candidate except 4 year degree = no interview.
