The university partnership and the time building route both require degrees regardless. Only those who are currently flying for the UAX exclusive carriers have the bachelors degree preferred not required, pending “significant leadership experience.” Those that get the Aviate CJO, who don’t have that degree, and don’t meet that leadership requirement, will have to check that box like the CPP before mixing on. Unless anyone has heard anything differently, or was told differently during the interview. United seems to be fixing problems that were discovered during the first wave, and trying to make the program better.

I just met a Mesa captain who interviewed with only a 2 year degree plus other credits. He was given a CJO providing that he earned his 4 year degree within one year. He is going to finish 3 months early. He was frustrated that he waited so long to finish school. His attitude was that everyone knows that the legacies are big on a degree and that there was no valid excuse why he blew it off for so long. He said that it made him appear lazy for willfully not meeting the desired requirements and he’s grateful that they gave him a chance.

I can't believe that we are still talking about this 20 years later ....it is SOOOOO EASY to get a degree via an online campus that it is a STUPID bet to try to get hired without one!
Instead of whining about it on the Forum...why not sign up for that online college class?

You currently possess all the creds you need to be a decent airline pilot (provided you’re not a tool! 
. Two more years of school won’t make a better pilot. But it will probably make your phone ring sooner.
Sucks for you but that’s how the game is rigged. Some of the best guys I have flown with had zero or minimal colleg. And some of the scariest had degrees from very impressive colleges and institutions.
That’s simply my uneducated opinion. But, there are a ton of reasons for you to finish it. Enroll online, that might grease your app a bit.

What does that mean exactly to a 20 something year old?

I feel like chiming in here.
I agree that there are lots of GREAT pilots without degrees. I also think that bearing down and getting a degree, ANY four degree, isn't a lot to ask for a job that will pay you as well as if you are a J.S.D. or and M.D. over a 20-30 year career.
Just get it done.
