That's odd. What I got from this discussion is that those that don't have a degree are making excuses for why they don't need one.
FWIW, I don't think a college degree makes a good pilot. But I've posted in this thread before, if the job you want requires a degree, get one. Saying you don't need one is irrelevant in that case.

The title of the thread? Yes, I did. The first post, from the original poster who created the title, I recognized as satire. Most of the discussion that followed, which I thought you were referencing when you said "this discussion", was not.
If your post was satire as well, I missed it. Wouldn't be the first time I missed the joke.

The bigger perversion is that many turned down by the majors continue to fly that major's passenger around doing a more difficult job. Many more deparures and arrivals were most of the risk exposure occurs. Silliness...

Less potential liability dollar value on smaller planes... may as well keep the interns there.

Zero experience? Are you joking? 1 hour of military flying experience is easily worth >10 hours of regional (read: IFR, A to B, 90% on autopilot) experience. Military Helos should be included in that assement, and I think (hope) things are trending in that direction. Sorry, but all the things you think are hard in the 121 world are a joke in the Military flying world. Reality is that going from military flying to 121 flying is a step DOWN in complexity/challenge, and that’s why those guys/gals get vacuumed up by the Majors.

Being a brain surgeon is very challenging and complex as well. But that skill is as far fetched from commercial aviation as flying combat missions.
The main reasons why military guys get hired are, that they have proven skills to pass training at an airline, and because of past precedent.
But you are still an intern. That was the word I was objecting to in rick's post.

Oh yeah, I never saw it that way. You are totally right, you obviously have done plenty of detailed analysis research on the subject. Sorry I said anything.
