No Degree Aviate
Did Aviate just solidify a no degree avalanche of pilots? Reading the aviate website, it seem one can go from getting one’s ratings at the academy to 24 months at a regional to UAL. I think this is crazy. Is this correct? Are we now going to have mass of high school edumacted pilots in the flight deck? This should be rethought.

The college degree preference (just shy of being a requirement), while understandable when it’s a seller’s market, is a bit absurd when they’re desperate enough to fund a training pipeline for zero-hour candidates.
I’ve got a good buddy from the RJ days who has spent the last decade flying heavies internationally for Cathay, but his application is basically DOA at all the majors because he went from high school directly to flight school.
Apparently his knowledge, skills, and experience account for next to nothing while a fresh-faced AVIATE enrollee will get fast tracked to a multi-million dollar career…
This industry is crazy.

They told us on an informational call when Aviate started they would wave the degree requirement for people with significant leadership experience chief pilot, director of operations etc. So basically just get your degree.
