Agreed, don't listen to this joker. He lives a sad life full of negativity and sorrow. I've flown for Eagle for over two years. Just like everything it has its good days and bad days. But overall, I'm very happy here. I'm DFW based and on RSV. I held a line for 8 months before the ATR's in DFW were parked and LAX closed, thus bumping me back to RSV. Holding a line was great and I could make more money, but RSV isn't too bad either under the new rules we operate under now. Being senior on the rsv list, I flew 8 days last month. Living in base this is great. I've heard of guys on RSV in NY go for a couple of months without being called in for flying.

Living in base is HUGE. Always remember, that can and does change.

I forgot to ask.
I notice that AE do not list a college degree as a requirement or preference but carriers such as Skywest state "Graduation from accredited, four-year college preferred."
How "preferred" is this? I started airline flying in Australia where time spent in college was time not spent logging hours. The airlines were very focused on the hours versus age nonsense back then.
Is it possible to join without a degree?
regards

I think they all say "college degree preferred"; the truth is the pool of applicants (HR term for pilots) is deep with ATP, 4-year degree, some TPIC time that having those is nearly mandatory. Whether that will remain so is an open question, but hiring without them has always been, and likely will be in the future, chancy.
