I have a lot of friends that moved on to big brother and can attest to the above statement.
Thank you Unpilot. Glad someone agrees with me 😀

Yeah, up to -no- payments while enrolled in school at least half-time (that's 6 credits, only 2 classes per semester) and when you get out, if you're experiencing what they call financial hardship (you know, family responsibilities, etc.), you can qualify for payments substantially less than $100 a month, in some cases near $0 per month, which if paid on time for 20 years the government will forgive, meaning cancel, the balance of your loan.

Means you just got a nearly free education.

On top of that, they even give everyone up to 60 months (5 years) of deferment, meaning no payments at all, for general purposes. Means you can not pay for up to 5 years and not even have to explain why. All you have to do is ask for the deferment and agree that you intend to pay eventually when prompted. So, contrary to popular belief, this country actually promotes higher education. They know educated citizens have a higher probability of becoming more successful and productive citizens so they help make it happen. So much so that they allow $150k per citizen before they won't give you anymore. Even though a quality education can be had for much less, they give you the option to learn whatever you want.

If you screw off that much money and still fail to get educated, it'd be no surprise if they decided to open an investigation.

The more you know...

Cut the "money" excuse. I have a family. Regardless, it can be done with or without a family, and it doesn't have to cost $3k per semester. It can be had for less. I have many friends and acquaintances with spouses, children, and in some cases parents needing support, that do and have done it, some of which make/made substantially less than we do here.

All I'm saying is call it what it is: a will issue, not a financial one.

This is great news. Never heard of it and I thank you for enlightening.

It is not rocket science. People get better at what they do the more they do it. Not everyone and not everything of course but there is a reason for all the old sayings..."practice makes perfect" ect.

Ok so I have a problem with the last vacancy and need some help. I have just over 950 hours of both company and 121 time, no prior qualifying time such as 135 PIC either. The company has stated to me directly and all of us in emails that they do not award captain upgrade until you have the full 1000 hours 121/135 time, they will only give you 75 hrs credit a month for the company time. But we all know that they do as I have had multiple friends that were awarded upgrade on previous vacancies with less than 1000 121 time, as low as 900. I did not get the upgrade with 953 hours this time, but have already been hearing that they awarded it to others with as little as 900 again.

I was wondering if anyone here had less than 950 qualifying time and got the upgrade on 17-01 can pm me what their hours are. Also, what the hell should I do about this? I doubt I can grieve it, it's a super secret thing they do behind the scenes. Should I talk to crew planning and just say what the hell? Or contact the union?

Edit: I have enough total time, company time and seniority to get it, but still did not.

Although there was a guy awarded JFK 900 with a 98 number. Not sure how that can be a return to work.

Wow that's weird. Maybe his old number wasn't available or something. I know the two behind him personally are return to 9E. Not seniority though, just emp numbers.

Crippling, huh? What's an online degree cost these days? I know of flight attendants who managed to deal with this "crippling" financial burden. We all know what they make, substantially less than you or any other pilot. I hear what you are saying, a degree doesn't necessarily make you better at your job. But it shows you have the ability and willpower to sit down and learn something. I can completely understand that a company would want to see that before laying down a bunch of money for training.

Maybe you or someone you know didn't get a desired job, and maybe it was the lack of a degree that caused it. (Maybe it was attitude.)

The fact is, the company decides what their requirements are and it's up to the applicant to meet them. Whether you find that "fair" doesn't matter. It isn't discrimination, it's the company's preference. Some companies want a degree, others don't. It just seems to be the higher paying ones that want it.

First your seniority has to hold it then you have to meet the 1000 company unless they reduce in which they did: 808 company and 2023 total(2500).

Then it depends on your choices like any other bid.

Maybe there will be some withdraws, allowing for less senior FOs to upgrade on 17-01. Who knows.
