Still hired. But UA's recent experience is now - only 2/3's of non degreed new hires make it through probation. That bodes poorly for UA's desire to high more non degreed pilots.

And the number has to be more than 3, i personally know 2 pilots at UAL without degrees and i highly doubt i coincidentally know the only 2.
Additionally, those 2 had outstanding qualifications and only lacked a degree.

A degree or lack of has absolutely nothing to do with flying skills, period. Those people who didn't make it through probation had other issues other than the lack of a degree. It would be silly to think the lack of a degree was their cause of termination. Totally irrelevant

Thoughts?
It depends. Are you a govvie or contractor? LEO, DoD, etc? What type of equipment/missions do you fly? Any trips though the sandbox? I hate to give this advice, but maybe you should do a lap through one of the job fairs and see what the hiring bubbas have to say about your competitiveness. I think Jet Blue will treat you like a vet. They do with school teachers, police, paramedics etc.
Going to a regional even with the "better" pay is still a $70k pay cut. I have no debt and money in the bank but that is still VERY steep.
At least going to a Major it is a 50k cut but almost back to normal at year two. I can take the risk of going to a Regional and hoping/praying a Major calls or task the risk of staying where I am and never get a call.
Very confusing.

Were they 2014-2015 new hires? I think that was where the UA data came from.
