I am in the process of completing my degree here. I'll have a masters this time next month.
I hope it pushes my app over the edge. Like others have commented, it also provides me other opportunities should I lose my medical, become furloughed, or desire something other than line flying.
Congratulations! The curriculum looks like a lot of bang for the buck and the degree is awarded from Delta State's College of Business not the aviation department! Not that an "aviation degree" is a bad thing but a business degree adds more weight!

Thanks. I'll just say that because it is online, you really get out what you put in.

As for the real reason why I advocate for one: what happens if you lose your medical? Wouldn't you like something to fall back on?

I will live on my company/union LTD ($13,500 per month till age 65, TAX FREE). Plus my wife is an RN and pulls in six figures.
