And I'm not talking about new hires either. Sometimes people get confused with a requirement and something that makes you more competitive but not a requirement for the job. I know it hasn't been a requirement in the 10 short, yeah right, years I've been here.
Not that it matters but - High School graduate/GED is all that is required. That being said, I have flown with lawyers, a judge, dentist, physiologist, ... several advanced degree folks.
