We havn't heard every story but non degree guys are in the single digit percentage and maybe in the single digit group(<10).

This whole needing a degree thing is nothing more than another discriminator used to sift through applicants. I can foresee in the next ten years, the 4 yr degree will be more of a bonus rather than a required item to get the interview.
Do you need an degree to fly for a major? Nope, but you are doing your self a huge disservice by not having one.
Over the past decade (or two) we have seen HR go from being a support service to now being the gate-keeper of who gets an interview/job. Just another way for HR to justify their existence and go for a land grab in the corporate world.

True. They ask for a degree because they can. Just like in my day
you needed 20/20 uncorrected to be hired. There was a huge supply of pilots so they could narrow applicants down by this and other factors like smoking...not sure how they could tell since I knew of a few that got through anyway. Maybe in the distant future the degree will go in the same direction, but for now...
