Uhh, you answered your own question. The secret is getting a bachelors degree. It's like the modern equivalent of a high school diploma.

You can do it online and you don't even have to learn anything useful if you don't want to.

I attended a real brick and mortar university in person and I still didn’t learn anything useful.

But you check the box .... and besides what some people want it to mean or what it may actually really be worth, it does satisfy a basic requirement for a lot of jobs

My degree was a 5 yr professional engineering degree. I coulda (and did) have a good career in the engineering world. Now, no one would ever call me back after being out of the profession and 20 years later with no real world experience in the game.. oh well, I proved I could complete a degree and graduate from the basic program and it opened up basic requirement doors to where I am now. Is it useless? I don’t know honestly. But it’s a game and if you don’t wanna play by the game rules, you then might suffer the consequences. No judgement. Just know what it is and for a lot of jobs it’s the price of a call.

I learned about not falling for the “follow your girlfriend around after college” scam. That was a close one! Worth every penny.

Um.... mainline AA does not stop training on Thanksgiving or Christmas (neither INDOC or ground/sim training). Ask me how I know.

Flowing in a few months. I have 10,000 hrs 121, over 4,000 PIC, and LCA. I'd say the flows have just as much if not more experience than the average Delta or United civilian new hire. Some us of waited to flow to AA instead going somewhere else. Hasn't Delta hired quite a few non-military pilots without any 121 PIC time? You at least have to be a captain (as of now) to flow to AA.

I didn't have that kind of time when I came over. 5k tt 3.5k 121pic. From PSA/pdt that's probably a closer guess
