It's not enough people work their ass off for years to fund their training then to be told you need a college degree as well
The job should go to the best pilot not the person with a qualification which has nothing to do with being a pilot
So if you have six experienced pilots at the final stage of selection, all of whom are equally skilled, as pilots, then how does an airline choose the one they want. There has to be some other skill/education/quality eliminator. Most likely it will be a degree (even if in basket weaving) because this is a tangible measure of an extended education and if all six applicants have degrees then it will be further differentiated by type, discipline and honors classification. Simple!
