AA Flow-Thrus Should Require a Degree
American Airlines should change their flow programs to require their regional pilots to have a 4-year degree before they are eligible to flow.
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.

Judging by recent mishaps, a more urgent need is for the majors to get people who have actually HAND FLOWN an aircraft and not just been FMS programmers.
That may actually be more valuable than a degree in submerged Native American textile fabrication.

Actually AA regional pilots are already American Airlines pilots. Calling them regional pilots is really a misnomer. Especially those aviators rated in the E170/190. AA should actually just get rid of the standard paychecks for them and house them in barracks until they flow.
