I'll call it a rumor (don't know how factual it is), but I heard at SkyWest that the number of pilots with a 4 year degree runs less than 50%.
I've got a BS, AS, and an AA. 3.7 GPA, but I was also kicked out of HS in my senior year, finishing up with at the Adult High School with a GPA in the 1s. Which one would you focus on?

Quit complaining about the criteria hiring departments choose and go into business for yourself if it is such an issue to you (and I don't mean you personally NISX).

How much flight experience did the Capt of KLM 747 at TENERIFE had ????
