In BA’s case, they have historically employed many ex-RAF pilots (plus I’m sure ex-FAA and maybe ex-AAC). A degree isn’t required for the majority of Commissioned Officer training in the UK Armed Forces, including flying training. UK and US initial officer training differ in some significant areas, therefore there isn’t the link between degrees and military aviation that you have in the US.
