What an idiot.
Sorry, I will correct that to "primarily online university" as they brand themselves as an "online university." A simple google search revealed that. It also implies that there are no physical classes, so I still think that "online only university" applies.

The narrative is true, where your degree comes from is important for Delta, so is where you get your flight training and the progression of your career. You don't have to believe me. Judging by your post and how you handled your retort, I'm perfectly happy if you personally don't.

You could study tribal dance theory and Delta wouldn't blink twice as long as it is a regionally accredited institution. Never speculate something you don't know. When you get on DAL hiring department, you can say otherwise.

My sister used them to finish her BSN and she was very happy with them. She even went to graduation.

It's true, Delta does score different points to your application depending on what university and what degree you received. Getting a Mechanical Engineering degree at MIT will score you more points then getting an online Underwater Basket Weaving degree at Ello Gov'na! University.

There is no speculation in my post. It's up to you if you want to listen or not.
