Even a degree in left handed puppetry would be better than no degree.

Check Airman with extracurricular volunteer time on your resume but no degree? Apply.

Is that competitive?

I think I know the answer, but I'm still going to ask.
Gracias,

You think 400PIC in a king air and an ATP is enough experience to offset the degree requirement?

You're 300 hours above the mins for the regionals. I'd be a little more realistic. Guys with 10k hours, 5k 121 PIC and good degrees aren't getting called.

I had a C-12 guy with 3000TT in my new hire class at Envoy. He's still here and probably going to flow before he gets called.

Yet they’ve been hired at UA and Southwest to my knowledge in the past 12 months.

I know multiple individuals with less than 3000TT who were primarily Mil and less than 100hrs 121 who were still given CJO's at the big 3. So the idea that someone without 10,000TT and 5,000 PIC in 121 will never get hired is outdated. Besides, if someone had 10,000TT and 5,000 PIC 121 and cannot get a job at the majors means they have either F'd up somewhere in their career or are the kind of persons no one wants to fly with. I'd be self evaluating at that point.

Why anyone would go to SWA now is beyond me. To me, they're just a few tics above Spirit or Allegiant.

Times have changed.

Uh.. nope.

The low time .mil pilots are fighter/heavy guys who usually have masters degrees.

If I had a C note for every GREAT and qualified guy I knew who was passed over for an interview, I'd be sipping Pappy every night.
