If there is a need to narrow the field down, a college degree can be used as a screening tool. It has nothing to do with the ability to fly an airplane. There are numerous examples of outstanding pilots who never got a college degree. Chuck Yeager, Wiley Post, Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart. Dick Rutan got his college degree 16 years into his USAF Career - well after his many military flying accomplishments.
Amelia Earhart got lost! I don't see why people always say what a great pilot she was. She flunked navigation 101.

I wonder how many forum participants can honestly say they have flown over long ocean routes using a sextant for navigation. We are dwindling in numbers. Makes me wonder what will happen when the GPS system goes down.

That being said, all the planes at DL have inertial nav as well. No biggie.

Trying to figure this out from the PWA but looking for carification... does a seat freeze began as soon as the AE results are released, or does it really start when you convert to the new category? I THINK "awarded" must mean when the results show up but I'm not sure...

[/QUOTE]The Call In Honest policy is to be used only a few times in a pilot's career, and only after a well planned commute goes to pot, which this summer, was a weekly occurrence. Hardly a free ticket to work, and only used at the company's discretion. You are still on your own as a commuter.

Can you fly a trip from a month on a regular line into a month on reserve?...those days would be on-call days in the follow-on month...
