The benefit is obvious: it would make American pilots more educated like Delta pilots which, in turn, would make AA a better, smarter company. Also, AA wholly-owned pilots should be required to wear hats.
This is the first time I have ever heard of anyone say, that a degree make's good pilots.
You can't degree a good pilot, flying is a skill, that require's continues adjustments and improvements, each individual needs to put forward a good effort to improve their skills. Not every one is a Chuck Yeager, oh and just so you know, Chuck didn't have a degree, and I doubt Delta pilots are better pilots.
