I agree. Why get a degree you can't really use unless you intend to become airline management. Even then a BS in Business or Finance followed with an MBA in Business management will serve you better.
This is not the profession it once was when our fathers were flying. Back then, Airline Pilots were respected and thought of as well to do individuals. Pay was excellent and loads of time off to do what you want to do on the side. Now, airline pilots are just bus drivers. Even the aircraft being produced by Airbus is called just that.
