It is another way to weed out people without a college degree. You basically can't get a college degree before you are 21, so that plays into the decision.


You have your entire life to fly for an airline. Go to college. Enjoy being 19,20,21,22... you still have 40+ years of airline flying. Why is everyone in a rush to go to a regional. Because it will get you to a major faster... NOT without a college degree. It won't do you any good without a college degree.
