BA Degrees

[Alaska82]

Hey Guys I guess I'll probably have to go back and finish up my BA. I have an AA in Aviation and am looking to see what everyone recommends for a BA. Gonna have to be an online degree. Hopefully the cheapest and easiest degree possible. Thanks, and by the way any new hires getting hired on at the majors without a BA?

If you are going to spend the time to get a degree get something you can use. I like my accounting degree for the down times. Allows me to make a descent living while flying and when I am not. Don't be short sighted. Get a computer degree that will allow you to do work at home and on overnights.

Too bad there isn't a degree in slackin' cause you're already at the PhD level....

I am going online at UVSC, and I am pretty happy so far. Of course one of the reasons I am happy is that my company is paying for half of it.

Make sure that whatever you decide on is worth the paper the degree is printed on. DAL has a book an inch thick listing what degree's from where are acceptable, not sure of the name of the book but I could find out. There are online university's based in Wyoming that will sell you any degree you want for a few hundred bucks., there is no regulations in WY for internet/online universitys. Make sure you're not scammed.

I know about 4 or 5 at Airways that don't have BA's, although most have an AA or several years of college completed. I'm sure there are many more . If you don't have the degree, having lot's of experience or having an inside connection is you next best thing for getting past the HR desk.
I have to agree with others posting on here that having something else to fall back on is one of the most important things to consider.

Ya, know what I'd do, visit the local community college, and see what credits would be accepted, and the extra credits required for the EASIEST BA. Probably business communications. It might be a night school(one night a week)option. Please let us know what you decide, I'm interested, and good luck.
