It will eventually lead to a crisis within the next 20 years, and probably cause an economic depression. This job finally balanced with starting regional pay above $60,000, but for the rest of the economy, that's not possible.

Interested in this as well. If someone has a suggestion for who to go to for an evaluation of a Canadian 4 year degree please advise, thanks!

Yeah right. 15 years ago the director of training at my cargo company told everyone without a degree, "just wait 5 years, the majors won't require a degree". :rolleyes:

A college degree will likely always be required, if only to make the pile of resumes smaller. Also, interviewing someone who spent 4 years working through a college program implies that they stick with complicated training and completed it. Definitely relevant in an aviation career.

As I'm sure we have people with history degrees, english or whatever non-technical field, an engineering background isn't required to fly a plane. But I think a college degree certainly makes a better, well rounded pilot. And yes, I've flown with both.

Why don't you message Delta pilot recruitment?

Sorry if this seems like a dumb question but where do I find their email?

I responded to the fixit email but haven't gotten a response.

Thank you very much.
