How does a 2 year diploma compare to a 4 year bachelor degree?
2 year is the same as no degree for the most part (ie not good). Exception is that SWA will hire folks with a 2-year degree and exceptional qualifications, such as good family connections.

My guess would be that you will need some jet time. The old-timers will tell you how they got hired with 1900 or metro PIC but that was before RJ's...there are now thousands of folks with glass/turbojet experience and a 1900 pilot will be at a competitive disadvantage for the most part. Not to say it can't happen, but you might have a long wait.
