I’m baffled at how many folks set out to be airline pilots knowing full well you needed a degree and then never got one. It’s got nothing to do with flying we all know but it was/is the game. Spirit wasn’t a real option when most of us started flying so did those not getting the degree plan on flying at a regional for a career? Now we are the hot spot for all the slackers.

Don’t mind me. I’m just bitter because I got the degree and I’m at spirit anyway so it was clearly useless.

We have many great pilots without degrees. Getting them to understand that they are great and deserve an industry leading contract is another story.
