It is relevant, because someone without a degree can go to PSA, and flow to American.

Still a straw man (and they're multiplying.) Still apples and oranges.
Straight to "unethical" to require a baseline education? I can only assume nazism is next.
Know what's *really* BS? These stupid hour requirements. I mean, I really WANT to fly at FedEx, isn't that enough? Why should I have to put in years of effort? Heart surgeons right out of med school can get a job.
There. We've got ourselves a full on straw man village now.

What's the point of going to high school too, only thing I ever learned there was how to get into college and college prep classes which according to everyone isn't needed anymore to be good at anything. If we don't have to fund it it will be a less of a burden on thr tax payers since it doesn't make me a better pilot.

It seems you must be out of touch with the mainstream public interview processes then. Many, MANY jobs require a degree. It's not discriminationl rather, a discriminator. If it's a requirement for the job, then it keeps folks who opt not to get a degree from getting hired. Much the same way I cannot be a lawyer nor a doctor because I don't have those educations.
Discrimination as a hiring requirement... now I have heard it all.

Dude... you're missing the point. I understand where you're coming from. However, what you're trying to justify is discrimination against hard working folks that don't have a degree... So what you're saying is "well, all the guys that have a degree your better than those that don't so you get to flow to Delta!
... while the rest of the non-degree losers work at the Regional for the rest of their lives". It makes zero sense man. If there is a "flow" or whatever you want to call it in the future. It needs to be fair for everyone, in order of seniority period.
No age, or degree discrimination. If you possess the ability the fly an aircraft in a safe manner that happens to say "Delta Connection" on it, and fly into the same airport as mainline. In my opinion you are more than capable of flying an aircraft that says "Delta" on it into the same airports as Delta Connection.
This of course is all talk. Nothing we do our say will change what Delta does and I respect that. It's their airline they can pick and choose. However, if we "flow" we all flow equally, that's the only fair way to do it.

Delta has hired lucky individuals without the degree, and they seem to be successful, since none have been sent back to 9E yet.

Because of hiring comparison... rounds 1 and 2. Look at SSP second round..completely different experience from first. Nothing to do with interview performance....everything to do with different hiring environment.

You are quite incorrect. I have applied for many jobs that require a BS degree; some required a MS. Don't have them? Your application goes into the round file. It's simple... you don't have a degree, you do not qualify for the job.
No studies read here, just real-life experience, outside the tiny little cocoon of airline pilots.

You have probably read a study that is being put out by Universities, about how a college degree is required. This is passive advertising. However, in reality it doesn't exist this way. I don't know of any profession other than airline pilot that require non-specific degrees as a hard skill. Yes, it may be such where a degree is a competitive requirement, but you will find the employer always lists that as "college preferred".

...I am not bashing going to school and getting a degree. I actually think it's a great thing! However, a lot of people don't go to college not because they are incapable, but more so on the line of not being able to afford it, along with not wanting to get into life long debt. ...
That's hardly unaffordable, life long debt.
