Government, LEO, DHC-8. Sandbox trip while in military years ago. I am a veteran.
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.

The point was, there are VERY FEW pilot without a degree at UAL.
And after the spring of this year, 1 fewer....

I think the degree thing is relevant.
Shows lack of commitment and follow through.
Let's not kid ourselves. If you know a degree is required to get the job, and if you are too slack to even go and finish one online, you are just plain lazy.
(Why anyone puts decades of effort into getting to this level, but then won't even take a few hours a week to bang out a simple online degree is just beyond me.)

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
I agree that there must have been other issues if they were already found qualified and hired. But discrediting the value of posessing a degree while performing a skilled job is a self serving waste of time.

Someday this whole college degree thing being the barometer for someone to show "cognition" and "the ability to see a challenge to its end" (i'm sick of that BS one BTW...although it has a tiny bit of merit) will slowly go away in the wake of what is happening on college campuses lately what with all of the protesting/"offending" going on from halloween costumes to what are we allowed or not allowed to call transgenders.
At some point...the airplane just needs to be flown..safely.

English major? Kind of ironic that your rant about college being basically useless was almost unintelligible due to it being the world's longest run on sentence.
