Default How important is a bachelor's degree?

I was just wondering if a bachelor's degree still holds the same weight as it used to; do legacy carriers still place as much importance as they once did? I know most include it as a 'preferred' requirement, but how much could having a 4-year degree tip the scale, so to speak? With the limited hiring that's currently taking place at the legacy level they're able to pick and choose the best candidates, but what happens when (if) the "flood gates open"? I could be wrong, but I almost get the feeling that someone with 2+ times the experience without a bachelors degree will go first. (Obviously both hypothetical candidates would have the minimums...1000 TPIC, etc).... Any thoughts?
