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.

Unless the Chief Pilot is an engineer, or you are applying for some kind of aviation industry job (as opposed to airline), your Aero-Eng or similar degree is worth no more than a degree in History or French.
This has all been said before - on this very thread.
