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
It's all about the quality of everything on your resume. Having a degree isn't a guarantee spot in class, so your argument that "if Delta accepted them, everyone would have them" is a silly one. Quality and verifiability of flight time, education, military experience, community involvement, and company involvement are what matters. Obviously if you have an online degree and have just been Joe line pilot, you're not going to get a call. Same as if you went to Harvard and were just Joe line pilot. You would probably get rated higher than online guy, but that's not the whole picture. Same thing with an online master's degree. All other things equal, if you and another guy are fighting for the last spot to get a call to interview and you have a master's but he doesn't, you're getting the call.
