There’s been a lot of talk about the college degree becoming an anachronism in pilot hiring. It has never been a requirement at UPS. However, the resume required to get hired here without one has been out of the ordinary. Even though we have been hiring more pilots (on a percentage of current pilot group basis) than any other airline, the raw numbers are so low that HR can be picky on the degree “preference “. Not having one, definitely hurts your odds here. Enjoy AA, I’ve got lots of friends there enjoying life.
