GCW,

I wasn't asking in reference to green card eligibility but rather your competitiveness once you start applying to career-destination carriers here. Many of the people against whom you'll be competing will have college degrees...but applying without one is NOT a show stopper. It's just another box to check on an application.

I suspect you'll be competitive regardless. I was just curious. The college-degree/pilot issue has been debated ad nauseum so I don't want to get into that. It's just something else to be aware of when you start the hunt.

I haven't investigated what most carriers' policies are lately but here's what Delta has to say regarding college degrees:

Graduate of a four-year degree program from a college or university accredited by a U.S. Dept. of Education recognized accrediting organization is preferred.
  • Degrees obtained from a non-U.S. institution must be evaluated for equivalency to U.S. degrees by a member organization of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES).
