Not that I know, but does anyone know if having a degree more related to the aviation field, such as engineering etc actually helps when it comes to getting an interview for your first airline job.

Obviously, flying ability is going to determine whether someone gets the job, but I am talking about actually getting an interview. Does a degree stand out on a CV, and if so would a degree in engineering stand out more then some flower arranging degree?

If an employer has two CV's both with minimum JAR CPL/IR hours and one has a degree in engineering, and the other has no degree, or a degree non aviation related, which would they choose.
