Thanks man!
I'm not denying having a degree helps, but it's still not required. Look at all the other things that have changed from required to preferred. SWA did that to encourage pilots with different experience and background to apply. I personally know someone just hired with 0 turbine PIC. All I've heard from everyone is "You have to have turbine PIC". No, you don't. Does it help? Yes, it does, but it's no longer required.
Again, telling someone they NEED a four year agree at SWA is not true. I know many people personally who work there and some have been hired from experience in other places.
Instead of telling someone they NEED a degree, just suggest it helps to have one. It's not a requirement.

11/290 = <4% hired without a degree. So you want to try entering the tiny side door guarded by an angry pit bull instead of the big open front door.

As they say, “So you still say there is a chance, however slim.”

Any desire to fly Boeing’s antique is a sign of questionable mental fitness.
