What is GA ?
Although I agree to the fact, that college degree requirement is lazy filtering & definitely demands much more than piloting skills, but I think in a way its good for us too, because if somehow someone meet up with a severe accident & say loses his leg or whatever, then his aviation career is gone & if he has no degrees other than his licenses,etc then hes life comes to a dead stop.
I offended this college degree idea initially but now I agree to this fully,especially when the market is in such horrifying condition.
