I guarantee that passengers only care about if the pilot knows what they are doing , especially in an emergency. The business or basket weaving degree or any other degree does not fly airplanes and make skilled decisions , the pilots do . Considering Endeavor pilots are already flying Delta Jets and Passengers and they pay us and own us already , if one does not have a 4 year now then it would seem beyond silly to say that all of a sudden you need a 4 year to just simply move up and go to training on a 717 or whatever . If one does not have a 4 year to fly a Delta RJ9 , then why would one need a 4 year to Fly a Delta 717 ? It’s beyond silly . Especially to those pilots who have been here for 25 plus years and have like 23,000 hours . The propel thing is a further kick in the marbles . But then again , Big D probably won’t be hiring for a long while now ,so the DGI enhancement is suddenly not worth anything .
