Modern HR wouldn't dare down someone for volunteering for progressive causes. Most larger corporations publicly support the same or similar causes, if for no other reason than to keep the PC Police off their backs.

Hogwash. United hired kids right out of high school in the 60s to fly jets. We fly mainline's customers around in glass-cockpit jets owned by the mainline carrier. We're are all doing a mainline job already. Them continuing to outsource the flying we do is at a MINIMUM a tacit endorsement of our ability to be mainline pilots. The only reason these outsourced jobs exist is because mainline pilots thought they were too good to fly little planes and the gummers wanted to protect their fat widebody paychecks. Get off your high horse, wannabe skygod.

Your not good enough because of your attitude, not your abilities. Therefore it is perfectly safe for mainline to reject you, and let you fly the same passengers. Mainline guys are perceived as "company men" even if they're not. Like an officer vs. an enlisted man. Typically there is a reason for the difference, but they all wear the same uniform.

I' not asking rhetorically; I hear a lot of disdain for aviation degrees and I don't know why.

What about UND-type schools? Besides Embry Riddle, the price point is virtually identical to getting a 4-year-degree and learning to fly separately, so what does it matter? You can argue a smarter person would get a fallback degree, but I could argue an aeronautical degree better prepares pilots to be professional aviators thereby making them more marketable.
