cowhorse - what rubbish
having a degree gives no indication whether one can operate a modern jet or not
I have a degree yes, but I don't' believe it really adds much to my ability to fly
There are many examples of far less formaly-educated people with much better flying careers tha me
I know of one Easyjet captain who only has GCSEs, joined the Army, then left,became a small aircraft pilot then went ATPL and now has four stripes in an A320
