Wtmf.. Why does ever pilot with NO degree think that every pilot WITH a degree has one in either underwater basket weaving or arts??? Myself and most pilots I have flown with have a degree in Aviation, engineering, mathematics, chemistry, biology or some other sort of degree that would get you into God Damn med school.... l have NEVER, flown with a pilot that had a degree in such a bullSwitch degree as in basket weaving or Arts.... Again Never, so give it up losers... So shut the F up with all pilot have degrees in basket weaving, arts, or interior designing... Great way to help yourself sleep at night....

Well choose your fat chick at the bar more selectively... Btw, usually the fatter one makes more money than you'll ever make.... So problem solved.

Swamp,

It was an example. Meaning if a degree is required any major is accepted since not specified, ie arts, dancing, engineering and basket weaving. It doesnt matter. Your Aviation degree is just a hair above basket weaving which is what Ill have when I finish.

I still cant figure out the hostility over this issue...

I put in a lot of years at Express I/Pinnacle and shared some of that time in MEM with the NorthMississippiFlyingClub boys. By and large the vast majority were good folks that were a pleasure to fly with. Some may have been unpolished or perhaps even (for lack of a better term) somewhat "unsophisticated", but I can't remember flying with any that were incompetent or dangerous aviators. In fact a good many of them came up through the traditional civilian ranks putting in countless hours as crop dusters or flying small plane freight etc. before ever flying in the 121 enviroment. Every one got through one of the most hostile and arbritrary training departments I can imagine, where failing an applicant was worn like a badge of honor. In general most of those guys that I flew with were great stick and rudder aviators.

If you had such a problem with these guys being dangerous aviators, I can only assume you did the right thing and brought their inadequacies up with the professional standards board.

I get your point about skipping prerequisite hiring minimums, but it seems that isn't the only problem you are harboring towards your former colleagues coming on board at Delta.
