Getting an ICAO ATP is also immensely more difficult and requires testing similar to college.

So apply overseas then.
The only legit "argument" here is that US majors offer the best pay and benefits in the world, and they like college degrees. What's to argue? It's not changing...

It was written into the PDT flow deal while working with AA, F&H, and PDT ALPA that a degree was not required. Do do you suppose that is? How many retirements are coming up for AA? Add Moxy And Extra into the mix and there will be ZERO in the pool to bring on board. Believe me, don't, whatever. But guess what? AA does everything for a reason.

They ask for it because they can. At some point in time, the number of well qualified applicants far exceeds the number of slots. There is simply no shortage of well qualified pilots willing to work at legacy carriers.

What I would tell someone in high school who wants to be a pilot...
Go get your ratings ASAP, start building your hours and experience. At least get to part 135 PIC minimums as quickly as possible.
Once you are 21 get your ATP, get to a regional.
Take online courses to get a bachelor's degree while in the process.
