I'm not going to waste everyones time rehashing the advantages of a college education. You know, there's a reason the military requires a 4 year degree to become an officer (In most every case). All things being equal, I too would like to hire college educated pilots for my airline. The key here is "All things being equal"

Did you interview, or just apply? I applied the last three times and have never heard anything. 5700TT, 3700PIC, a little over 300TPIC, 1900 Part 121, Engineering degree, some grad school, 15 years of verifiable volunteer work. The only communication I have received is the "If you want to still be considered, please reapply" email.

I know of several people who got interviews on the spot both at Puyallup and WIA. One of which had their 2nd interview and received a conditional offer. Not sure if anyone got a call for a day 1 interview between now and those events though. I think those calls will go out associated with this latest opening. Just my opinion though, not based on hard fact.

For those of you with qualifying times but are getting TBNT emails, have you had a pilot at Alaska take you to meet a base chief pilot? It seems they will always be honest with you, as in, you need to do x or y to be competitive, or your resume looks good...

However, they are in charge, not you, so they determine what they want for new hire pilots. Don't like it, then start your own airline that doesn't require a degree ... I think we will continue to have plenty of "qualified aviators" that do have degrees for awhile yet.
And if it smacks of elitism, why do most, if not all, major airlines have that as a requirement? Maybe those who carry hundreds of people on an airliner are elite, in some sense?
