I'm sorry, I know I've said this before but I can't think of any reason to justify spending money on an extra four years of college that you don't need. I knew I wanted to be a pilot, so I went to flight school. That was my training. I have a piece of plastic in my wallet that says I successfully completed the training. That means I stuck with and finished something I started. The one thing we don't need in this industry is a requirement that we spend MORE money for the return we're seeing. I'm not so sure that such a requirement would result in higher pay, either. Reading a little history about aviation will show you that airline management has been trying to lowball pilots on pay since the beginning. A unified pilot group is what we need, not more hoops to jump through.
