There is intrinsic development as well. A degree doesn't guarantee it so I'm glad SWA considers some who have worked in themselves- but it will be something you'll have to explain- and unless you were developing yourself in some other worthwhile educational way- it's not going to be a good explanation
We agree there are many ways to develop yourself, a college degree is only one of them. But the college only elitist crowd just doesn't see it that way.
BTW: Things are getting so upside down in this business that JUS is now recruiting for pilots with college degrees. Now not just any college degree, we could care less about a Mechanical Engineer from the University of Michigan. But a degree from Bumblebee State in Aviation Technology that meets the 1000 hour restricted ATP, that is the breakfast of champions.
