Not having a degree is a bit degrading to the profession, and I’m glad that United is pretty firm on it. There will always be one or two that will make it through the cracks without a degree, but these guys are pretty quiet about it because it’s nothing to be proud of. You have so many online schools that would love to accommodate you, and once you have it done, the doors will be wide open with so much more opportunities. Why wait around five years hoping for the requirements to soften up while during that time you can get a degree done. I’ve always wondered why this question always come up on the United side? Try asking that question over at Delta and see what they’ll say.
4 year degree is mandatory at Delta
if you don’t have one you can’t apply for a pilot job

Yes, a degree is all but required.
UAL does not require it because they have, in the past, been under an EEOC hiring dictate. The official minimums are absurdly low to meet that old law suit. It allows them flexibility to perhaps hire a more diverse group.

Is it difficult to drop trips from a line or reserve to regularly get 14d off in a row? If impossible, would 10 be plausible?
How much does seniority influence the ability to drop trips?
Is there a minimum required to fly on a monthly basis to maintain insurance coverage?
Basically I’m trying to ascertain whether it’s possible to be part time and improve QOL.
Thank you for replies.

see above
No
it is possible, but probably not as a new hire. You have a better chance of being on reserve and not getting called

I just put in my app this week. I’ve only got 1800 hours TT, but I have about 1400 turbine time. All my turbine time has come part 135. How important is the 121 box and is 2500-3000 hours most realistic for a call back?
thanks
