Yes I have a degree, but wonder if I should have gone to a more expensive school so I wouldn't have had to work so hard.

Anecdotal to you, since I told you about it. Factual to me, since I observed it. See how it works?

anecdotal:
(adjective)
Not necessarily true or reliable, because based on personal accounts rather than facts or research.

Facts are facts. There is no “factual to you.”

See how that works?

If he’d gone to college he might know about collecting useful data.

Should change name to “pompous pilot”.......although I’ve always thought the crucifixion reference was amusing.

So you know how to google and copy/paste the first suggested result. Commendable!

Any other life altering skills your education gave you?

^^^ This. You’re doing it wrong if an undergrad degree costs $100k. A major or LCC doesn’t need Harvard. It needs “Middle of Nowhere State” for a fast undergrad degree.

The benefit is obvious: it would make American pilots more educated like Delta pilots which, in turn, would make AA a better, smarter company. Also, AA wholly-owned pilots should be required to wear hats.
Chuck Yeager didn't have a degree. Are you currently working for a major and able to pass judgement onto others?
