Nah bruh, don't even sweat that degree. Just chill, homie, enjoy life. Plus, that means less competition for me

AA and US hired our (PDT) guys and gals off the street (non flow) last year without a degree.

25% of guys in my B6 class without a degree,
but they were ex-mil or high 121 PIC time.
I know also one guy that went to UsAir without a four years degree, ex-mil and lot of 121 PIC.

Not required at Delta.

Of the last 6 Flight Attendants I flew with, only 1 had a Bachelor's Degree.

How could a "ex-mil" pilot not have a college degree?

More than likely he means prior enlisted. Yes it does count for something.

Both the Army and Navy had flying warrant officer programs. Though, the Navy's program was short lived. No degree required.

While it may be possible to get hired out of luck. I've not known anyone hired with out it. In fact it's a requirement for Delta, and Alaska.

Suggest that you take a peek at thread in the "Majors" entitled "who`s been hired". I think you can get the answer to your question there.
