I am having a hard time finding the 4 year degree requirement. Paradigm shift?

I imagine the published qualifications are somewhat lax in order to enable AA to hire some individuals of certain demographics without fear of being accused of this and that and the other thing. I notice no minimum flight time requirement either.

 

[Dumb Pilot]

It's been a while since my dealings with the AA application processes, but if I remember correctly, there wasn't a requirement for a 4 year degree back in the pre 9/11 days either..!

I could be wrong though, it's just what I remember!

Actually, most airlines don't have this stated requirement of a four-year degree. I think only Delta does. You know, it's their form of PFT. Southwest and American would buy it for you, if they needed you to have it.

Just dal and fedex. But you won't get hired without one.

Alaska has it .. At least on the last round ..

Does having a degree make anybody a better pilot? I don't think so. Some of the best pilots I have flown with don't have a four year. It is called practical experience.

Yeah, unfortunately in the USA a degree has less to do with actual education and much more to do with "MONEY". Many other European country's offer their citizens an education which is comparable at a fraction of the price. The higher education system in the USA is all about money. Some don't want you in the same job next to them unless you have also paid your over priced fee to "higher education ".
