Agree to disagree. I had 1500 hrs when hired 121, and as a cfi that's not very difficult. The NPRM from my understanding is not set in stone. I don't care how many degrees you have or books you have read, a 250hr wonder should not be in the right seat of an RJ.
Another question (I don't know the answer, and refuse to look it up from my iPhone): does the NPRM specify an aviation degree, or simply a degree and 141 flight training from an accredited school? It the latter is the case, I still suggest a field of study that would be a back up plan. Whether a major, minor, or double major.
