pilotyip said:Ace, your numbers show you have a better chance of being hired without a college degree. If Air Inc says 96% of the pilots interviewing have college degrees and then Air Inc publishes figure showing 15% non 4 yr degree at Air Tran, SWA, and JB etc. It means 4% of the pilots interviewing are getting 15% of jobs. (Don't tell'em you have degree it may improve your chances of getting a job, only kidding) Remember on this board if you don't have 4 yr degree you are looked down upon by those who have elected to deem the 4 yr degree as the only correct path to success in life.
Actually my stats come from 2004 and was for all major airlines. Your stats are from 2005 for those three airlines. Yes it was easier to get hired in 2005 due to the amount of airline hiring compaired to 2004. So my post does not lie. It is easier to get hired without the four year degree if the airlines are on a hiring spree. Plus your stats are just 3 airlines, what about the rest in 05? I don't think I was putting down people without the degree, just trying to help the ones on the fence. If you want to work for a major airline then a four year degree will increase your chances.
Cheers
