What about a AA degree, would that carry any weight?

AA is better than nothing, but think of it as a way station on the path to a 4-year degree. That's what any major, legacy or LCC expects these days.

As far as I know, of all the pilots that were in the CPP and didn't have a degree, all were still offered a class date at UA. I'm down to double digits on the "waitlist", but I am trying to finish up my degree through California Coast, just in case.

A degree is only important in the USA. 'High school' in Europe is difficult and you are considered educated upon completion.

Sounds like we should invest in our primary education system.

Yes, but in my opinion, when you have teachers and administrators spending their time dealing with social woes and political correctness, standards will be compromised.

Metal detectors in schools point to a much broader issue than funding. College standards have dropped too, paradoxically making a degree that much more valuable.

I know for a fact that some have come to United via the CCP some have been told to "let us know when it's done"
A friend had his time came along. the lady doing the final review called and asked what the status of his degree was. He said should be done in a month or so and was told to keep them in the loop.
Don't take chances just to be disappointed at the last minute....just start now and get it done. California coast, nothing could be easier.
