I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that Delta "doesn't really like on-line degrees".....because if they did, the majority of Delta pilots would have"on-line degrees".( Seems pretty reasonable too me)
Nobody said you couldn't get hired if you have an on-line degree......just that statistically you'd be in a very small minority....ergo...tougher to do.....tougher.....NOT impossible
Kinda like it can't be said that you have to have a bachelors degree to be a Delta pilot.....Yes, we do have Delta pilots that don't have a bachelors.....but the % is very,very small
