From what I remember back 10 years ago and previously about 95 percent of the new hires at American, Delta and United, Northwest, USAIR had college degree's.
Those are the Major Airlines as far as I'm concerned
In 2000 was a college degree needed to get on at united?
I also noticed that the college graduate pilots on this forum are very "spelling" challenged. Maybe a degree should be optional. I never noticed one bit of difference at my major airline between college graduates and those without a degree. I really think all it proves is you completed something. It doesn't help make you a good pilot if you can read.
I agree 100%Couldn't agree more. In fact, some of the best Aviators I have known, skipped college and started flying Twin Beeches or non sked 707's instead of sitting in a classroom. They ended up at the airlines too and could fly circles around their "educated" counterparts.
I have encountered some pilots that think they are pretty wonderful because of the college they went to. By and large they are not as wonderful as they think they are.

That is true and spot on. However, there needs to be some way to sort out the resumes. A college degree preferred does that. Not saying it is right or fair it just helps the HR department do their job.

It's funny how flight school doesn't equate to "displaying a minimal level of discipline in finishing something."
