Yep. There are a couple L-UAL pilots that don't have 4 year degrees.

I am surprised at that.....but you did say a couple (2)? If they do not have a Degree I bet they had a lot of flight time (10,000+)

CAL seems to have a lot of guys without it. More than UAL. Of course we didn't have a "flow through" at UAL.

Either way does it matter at this point?

No doubt exceptions to the rule......


CAL also hired with less than 1000PIC turbine.... for a reason...

Guys want to know if they can be competitive without a degree or if they should focus on SWA, JB and VA......

I would say, at least for now, probably no one hired wo a 4 year degree. Too many qualified with it. However, that may change quickly as the pool of qualified applicants dries up quickly. A year to get through that?

Word is 11k apps on file, what % are "qualified" is anyone's guess.

And you got to figure all 11,000 of those applicants are also applying to AA, DAL, USA, Fedx, UPS, and many to regionals if military. Sliced up that many ways, maybe there will be a pilot shortage.

Highly recommend doing sim prep. FTI gives two hours vs. one, some sim IPs are former UAL Capts (with connections on the inside), . Both the sim prep IP & interview sim IP said the guys who show up without prep stand out as unprepared.

ECI won't let you split it, or for anyone to sit in.

I've heard HPA in Dallas does 1 hour blocks of sim prep at around $500 per hour...and you can split the costs with someone else in the seat.

Not the "inside track" with FTI, but better than no prep at all.
