This is from an article on the front page of yesterday's WSJ. Apparently Delta was serious and is hiring pilots without a college degree at about the same rate as those with a degree. Good for DAL.

"Out of more than 7,500 applicants, Delta has interviewed around 150 people without four-year degrees for pilot jobs, and 70% of them have gotten job offers, around the same offer rate as degree-holders, Hendrick said.

“There’s no trend that shows anyone with a college degree doing better than anyone without a degree in any of our assessments,” he said."
