The time to get it is after high school, not after going to work for the airlines. If you do not get a degree you are severely limiting your chances for getting a job with a major airline and at some point you are going to want one.
To be honest, I haven't completely figured out what my post-high school plans are. I actually wanted to ask this in my original post but I forgot to:

Given the choice, would you go to ERAU with free tuition, or pay for a ~50% chunk (~20k/yr(?)) for a better, more well-rounded education at a more prestigious college?
