I really don't think delta cares so much how long you take to get your degree provided your working. And if they do then so be it.

What's ridiculous? Embarking on a career in which not having a college degree will inevitably prove to be a major handicap to obtaining a job with a premier carrier, then purposely not getting the degree, and then *****ing about it on a forum.

The bottom line is that most of the Majors REQUIRE both.

And there you have it. The problem is that the candidates you are competing with have both a degree and probably just as much experience as you do.

Delta does in fact care about the timeline of your education, despite of what you think.

Prove it. Show me some factual information that this is true. And there are other airlines out there besides delta if this is the case

So what, so what are you trying to prove? Was your situation the same as mine or anyone else? I think not.
