Don't be discouraged if you don't have the four year degree. I was hired 30+ years ago by United without the degree. I had two years of college. It was very competitive back then. Nobody had hired since 1979. I didn't think I had a chance.... Everyone had a 4 yr degree or better. Way more experience than I did... etc... What's important to United is your work history, work ethic, and your ability to get along with those you will be working with. I submitted my application on a whim. Never thought I would be hired... Yet here I am, a senior 777 Captain years later. Do it. And good luck.
