I personally don’t have a degree probably will never make it to mainline even though I talk on the same freqs fly the same routes and the same passengers. Wait for it in and out of the same hubs. But I also view it as I saved $50,000 on debt. I ran my own company for 15 years was very successful sold the company for a lot of money. I fly for fun now... Do the Majors care about real world experience nope, do they care I took something that was nothing and made it into something successful nope... but hire some 21 years old fresh out of college with 2000 hours and let’s be honest no real experience bingo he’s the man because he has a paper that says so.... shanking my head.
