Answer: Absolutly ZERO sense.
I think "rdneckpilot" is on to something...
Just because an applicant has a four year degree in whatever, certainly dosen't make that individual a better suited candidate as a pilot. A degree isn't all that difficualt to obtain...just requires a little time (and that's time not spent in a cockpit).
Now if that four years has been spent in real world flight operations, or studying metorology, aerodynamics, or some other aviation related field of study...well that's a little bit of a diffrent story.
Just my two cents.
