Unfortunately spent my younger days running a flight school to pay my way through my certifications/flight hours instead of "wasting" time on a college degree.
Yes, the key is “having a plan” on getting one. For example, having taken an online class so you can show them you are planning on completing it at some point. Once you get hired? Who cares..
(Although FTV3’s comments are spot on)
This info is from a newhire who got hired about 2 years ago.. I remember talking to him at the lunch break during his newhire orientation. It worked for him, hopefully it’ll work for you and for others too.
Good luck!
