When you get a stack of resumes, you review them, and spread them out into different tiers. A college degree allows you to focus on specific candidates, and not waste your time with either the not qualified, or frauds. If someone has verifiable experience, I no longer need to look at their degree, as I am far and away more interested in their past job performance.

If Delta has access to all our records at Endeavor, the no longer need the degree to try and determine what kind of employee they are getting. They have hired several from here without degrees, all made it through training so far. the two the didn't make it, both had degrees.

 

Dumbest thing I have ever read.... Ummm OK!!????

 

Eh, par for the course. DCI is also the most profitable operation at DL, too for him.

 

Hahaha I agree, my college education was a lot more than a piece of paper, there was lots of beer and girls to!!!

 

I got lucky and was in the right place at the right time. I didn't seek out and pay for my short cut.

 

I too got lucky and was at the right place at the right time. All my paying was for *flight schools.* I never paid a dime to an airline. My interview was the full interview process like any regular street hire.

 

I don't think you have any room to talk about how the SSP is a short cut, considering Pinnacle had a publish minimums of 1,000TT+ and 200+ Multi at the time you got hired. How many hours did you have? 400? 500? Pinnacle took guys from ATP or Jet U with much less than the published minimums. So based on what you just said. If you think the SSP is a short cut, because of getting hired at Delta without the published minimums, doesn't that mean that you took a short cut too? By going to Jet U and not meeting the published minimum of 1000+TT and 200 Multi? You choose Jet U and took the short cut instead of going out and teaching and fly freight to build time. You went there probably because you wanted to get to the right seat of an RJ ASAP, which is fine, but don't say the SSP is a short cut and later say, you didn't take one yourself.

 

No matter how you try to spin it, it's a shortcut... Call shy out for whatever you want, but don't be a hypocrite when you do. That's all I'm saying.

 

I'm still waiting for the data that says otherwise.

 

Swamp, it's true because HR doesn't have the time to go through, and evaluate every app they receive. You get many applications from people who are applying for a job they are not qualified for, and or faking their resume. A degree is simply a screening tool so you don't waste your time. You can fake your experience, you can not fake your degree. If you don't believe me, start a company, and put out job adds.
