Bachelor’s degree required for employment?
Hello! I am new to this forum. After browsing through some Endeavor articles, I have seen some people that have said that you need a bachelor’s degree to get hired at Endeavor. Is this the case or not? If not, would a bachelor’s degree help in the hiring process? Also, how competitive is the hiring process at Endeavor?
Right now, my plan is to do my flight training first (then build time as a CFI) and then get my bachelor’s degree while working for a regional airline. However, I could change plans as I haven’t started flight training yet.
As of right now, my goal is to ultimately work for Delta and be based in Atlanta. I would prefer to fly for Endeavor because of the Delta Guaranteed Interview Program.
Thanks in advance for your help!

If your goal is Delta, it is best to do your degree normally at a college so you can complete it in 4-5 years and then start flying after that. Delta is big on where you got your degree, what kind of degree (as far as either aviation or showing difficulty), and how long it took you to get it. Same applies to flight training. An accredited collegiate program or military for flight training is best.

Yes, you can complete your degree while working here, but I recommend completing it before, since working at a regional can be pretty hectic at times. I got hired at Mesaba my senior year of college with the same plan as you, but if I had not gotten furloughed, I don't know if I would have been able to finish.

as long as you have a 4 year , it could be a 4 year in finger painting , they don’t care . Previous generations of airlines focused on skill , hours and experience as well as paying ones dues , but now it’s more focused on the 4 year degree thing . I guarantee that passengers only care about if the pilot knows what they are doing , especially in an emergency. The business or basket weaving degree or any other degree does not fly airplanes and make skilled decisions , the pilots do . Considering Endeavor pilots are already flying Delta Jets and Passengers and they pay us and own us already , if one does not have a 4 year now then it would seem beyond silly to say that all of a sudden you need a 4 year to just simply move up and go to training on a 717 or whatever . If one does not have a 4 year to fly a Delta RJ9 , then why would one need a 4 year to Fly a Delta 717 ? It’s beyond silly . Especially to those pilots who have been here for 25 plus years and have like 23,000 hours . The propel thing is a further kick in the marbles . But then again , Big D probably won’t be hiring for a long while now ,so the DGI enhancement is suddenly not worth anything .
