Let’s face it; a degree is what the computer scores a value, and a certain value gets a call. As applications decrease, the scoring model is adjusted accordingly. Right now the “degree” is the easiest discriminator out there to thin out a stack of thousands.

If the OP wants to spend his SkyWest overnights in Butte doing anything else but distant learning, don’t get a degree. If you want to do homework on your 10 hour overnights in Jackson Hole, get your degree.

But in the end, he hasn’t even filled an application out and already pondering if it’s better than 2nd year CA pay at SkyWest. That kind of thinking worries me more than a degree, or lack thereof.
