Undergrad degree
Will spirit even look at me without a degree? I have 500hrs in an ERJ175 and will have 1000hrs in the spring. Before the airlines I was a non-degreed mechanical engineer, including department management.

I mean I fly with lots of guys without degrees and all them are great pilots. The trend is that many of them feel like they didn’t have options elsewhere because of lacking the degree and are just happy to be here and feel it’s ok to get compensated less than a legacy pilot. Thats flawed logic

Pretty sure they want people without degrees because that means it will be harder for you to leave (for a legacy).
