Why would a major US airline that stands to pay you upwards of 300K per year hire a high school graduate.
Honestly I don't get how this is ever even a question people need to ask. You can't have it both ways; you can't say you deserve more money yet require less education.
Like it or not college is fully expected of any professional anywhere. It's the new high school.

No ULCC pays $300k if you are flying by the contract. If you're cheating and or have zero days off then maybe.
As far as 4 year degrees go, it's a barrier to entry and that is always good. The harder the job is to get the more it drives up wages. More applicants in the pool means more guys ready to undercut you.

A 90 hour line at the top ULCC pay rate will bring in $309k with profit sharing and 401k or 100 hours for just straight pay of about 300k not including PS/401k. I average 90 hours and 16-17 days off and I'm not overly senior.

What are you talking about? You sound ridiculous. You know exactly what I mean.

The airlines don't view an online degree that you got when you were 40 the same as a brick and mortar university that you completed right out of high school. It isn't just checking a box anymore, they ask for transcripts. I'd save your time and money and try to get on somewhere that doesn't require it. The regionals have flows and the ULCC's can offer a decent QOL. United and American don't require it but you're fighting an uphill battle.

I truly don't get how you can call yourself a professional, maintain that you deserve more money, and at the same time claim that you don't need a college education. Unless of course you don't have one and need to rationalize your decision.
It's 2017, not 1967. College is expected of everyone, get over it.
