extremely dumb and simple question but is silver good enough to sit on for a career
i've got enough debt and don't want to run through this bachelor's degree anymore, it feels so pointless and i hate that it's a requirement for the larger airlines
i'd be fine with their salary, but my main concern would be QOL and work/life

 

It's not a requirement for any of the big airlines anymore. I think it's preferred now. And to answer your question, no, it's not good enough.

 

I have no degree. I’ve flown ERJs, CRJs, 737 and start 747 training next month. No excuses to fly an ATR for the rest of your life, unless you hate money or love ATRs that much.

 

If you want QOL join our Cargo operation at Fort Worth Alliance. 5 on 5 off schedule.

 

i have plenty of quality of life thanks

 

true but i'm under the impression that if you don't have the degree your application goes to the bottom of the pile; or at the every least it means it'll take even longer to get to one of the bigger ones

 

That does happen, but only if you are a straight white male. Otherwise those minority & sex boxes you check, weigh more than TPIC & a College Degree for the Majors.

 

i thought alaska was the only one that really did that

 

I know what you mean. They make you learn stupid, dumb stuff like punctuation and capitalization. Bastards.

I hate it too. And that the larger airlines hire pilots with ATP's. A private ought to be good enough. Or that they make you wear clothes. That's the worst. Uniforms? Total bull****. You should be able to show up with no education, just enough experience to drive a moped through a parking lot, and a tuxedo tee-shirt with flip flops and a beanie with a propeller on top.

Then again, there is some sage counsel floating around out there which reminds us never to go full retard. So, there is that.

Entitlement. Got some?

It seems what you're really asking is, "what is the most minimally qualified job I can get without having to work for it, that will let me live the way I want to live?" All you need to do now is define how you want to live, and doubtless a company will jump at lowering its standards to accommodate. Best of luck.
