Default ATP instructors with degree.

Does ATP only hire instructors with degrees?

Assume You go through the CFI program,
will a lack of a degree eliminate you from being considered for an instructor position?

Even if you did a good job in the program?

Good question... I can't answer it but I thought you could only get into the program if you had a degree or were in the process of getting one?

I really doubt it matters if you have a degree or not for an instructor job - but you should have at least an associates degree if you plan on getting anywhere after instructing.

The requirements to get into the program say 2 year degree OR work exp., so pretty much anyone with the cash can get in.

Grey,
ATP will hire just about anyone as a flight instructor including an applicant without a degree. They do prefer hiring products of their own programs however. I know a flight instructor that worked out of Jax who had over 1000 hours when he was 19 years old. When he hit his hours mark, he went back to Montana and started attending college. You can do it any way and it doesn't matter how or when. Just get a degree at some point. It shows that you are well-rounded. So don't worry about not having a degree. Good luck.
