I don’t have the statistics but the 3 WO’s seem to have a substantial amount of ATP pilots with no degree, that doesn’t help movement. Also when you believe you’ll end up at American, what’s the point of spending six figures to earn a bachelor’s?

Well it’s also very rare to not serve substantially more of a “prison sentence” when you show up on property at ANY regional with all your certificates through ATP and no degree. The big 3 don’t even look at individuals with no degree, I’ve never met anyone at mainline with no degree in hand. I’m not saying we don’t have them, but it has to be extremely rare.

I would agree with "most" for sure. I have flown with quite a few that don't though. More than I would have expected until I understood 'flow'. But I've spent no time with another regional for comparison.

In regards to the degree thing, most guys i've flown with have it. I'm in the minority on that but i'll have it done within 6 months, so whatever.

American Airlines captain explains why it may take 12 months to bring back furloughed pilots

And at that, it’s simpler and cheaper to do recalls than new type ratings. And with fleets with multiple type ratings - like American - the training requirements as people change types are more extensive than simple recurrency training. There are only so many sims and trainers and whatever equipment is doing the most flying - which right now is the junior equipment - is the limiting factor in recalling people.
Nothing happens quickly.
