I don’t know what degree she had if any. I guess my point is that none of us know the secret code to getting “the call.”

I remember when I was on the outside looking for my shot to get in, if you told me to go climb Mount Everest and maybe you will get a shot at being looked at....My response would have been, let me study everything there is about Everest and go buy my gear to make the journey. If you want it bad enough, you’ll do whatever it will take. But I guess a few people’s responses would be “why do I need to go do that?” Just remember that your attitude will help you get there.

Throw all the temper tantrums you want, you knew the requirements when you started. Don’t ask for the goal posts to be moved to the 50 yard line for you.
18 years of excuses.

Wanna know what's more frustrating than not having a degree with thousands of hours and not getting a call? HAVING a degree with thousands of hours, leadership boxes checked, volunteer boxes checked, multiple types, and even a job fair or two and STILL not getting a call. I agree experience is worth way more than some B.S. degree but it is what it is. A pilot where I work for the last 5 yrs post the same question every 6 months. "can I get in w/o a degree?" In those 5 years they could have had it done.
It's frustrating, annoying, and downright discouraging, but what else can ya do? Knock, knock, knock away.

I can't for the life of me understand why this thread exists.
If you have a degree you will be eligible to be selected from the pool of applicants. If you do not have a degree you will NOT get selected for an interview.
How hard is that to understand?
Want to be in the group that is considered qualified? Go get a 4 year degree. The end.
Hopefully this question will never come up again but I guess low comprehension might be equatable to lower education levels.
