I think in general the ppl arguing that this is a bad idea do not have degrees and don't want to see any jobs out of there reach. For those that think they have the best job and did it without a degree, feel safe do you in an industry that has slaughtered so many companies in the past that i won't even attempt to name them all? Having a degree is alway a good thing I wish I had a graduate degree but i don't I'm not going to knock those that do just because i don't. Do I think for a minute that they don't have more "tools" to call upon in their daily lives? Absolutely not.
Everyone has to have a high school diploma right? would it be ok if they dropped out in 8th grade and started knocking out some crop dusting or something. I mean by the time they were 23 they should get a left seat job with a legacy right? They would have a lot more time than the rest of us at that age.
This will effectively stop us from doing overnights where the f.o. isn't old enough to grab a beer. I mean come on ppl is it really going to ruin your lives to know your working with more educated ppl? Stuff like this gets me wound up. Why don't we just get rid of all requirements and we can just hire our friends regardless of their knowledge or training.
