No degree interviews!??!?
 

I'm just curious if anyone out there is hearing of people getting interviews without a degree? I'm currently working on it and should be done around March 2020 but just wondering with my Military experience if 1800TT, 400PIC in C-12, 200 in 121 world, and ATP could off-set the degree need. I think I know the answer, but I'm still going to ask.
Gracias,

This was directly conveyed by the Sr. Pilot Hiring Manager at the recent career expo. She mentioned that college degree is not mandatory. They do hire non-degree holders. On the contrary 98% have degrees and 2% who get hired don't have one. So out of 600 pilots a year they hire, approximately 12 didn't had a degree.

Now, what qualifications those pilots have, is a different question.

And they probably came from a CPP program, so no degree no job at UAL.

With your sterling credentials, I suspect that they'll be sending a limo any day. :D





Sorry, I'm not trying to be a Richard but with your quals you do not qual when stacked up against the 5000 guys out there with a degree AND 5000 hours of 121 PIC time.

You'll definitely get here, but you will get here sooner with that piece of paper and significant, quality flight time. The lost decade produced a mess of highly qualified pilots. Many of them are still slurping at the aft-most teat in Wally World. They deserve a shot before you.

I am a mil C12 guy and was hired with the following stats:

3500 C12
1500 PC/IP/MP/IE/SP
20 PIC 135 king air
3.3 gpa BS degree
4.0 gpa MS degree

They do hire us prop guys, but you will need to beef up your resume most likely.

Army WOFT guy?

Finish the degree and go to regional and get some JET PIC. Eventually it will pay off...just a little short on the quals.

You could have a Master's degree and you wouldn't be competitive with that flight time. It's going to be tough landing anywhere other than a regional.

Yes, you can get an interview with that very impressive CV ... at the regionals.

As for the 2% that get hired without a degree mentioned earlier, I suspect that number's been rounded up considerably.

No, I know both.


JK. Get a degree.

Yes you can get hired at United without a degree but your chances are very slim. You would need a strong work history and community history to be hired without the degree.
