As you can see, Animation / Visual Effect is not like those "formal" majors. I always thought math oriented majors like computer science and engineering benefit it more. Even business or accounting is formal education as well.
But as for art and design majors, like animation or graphic design. There is no math involved what so ever (you do need to take math class but not the advanced once).
I could see geometry helping in flying - intercept angles, radials, etc. I would also think your degree would be helpful - 3D space is what you're flying in, and if you can "picture" that in your brain using the instruments, you'll get the situational awareness "sense" needed.
As far as the airlines, (from reading this forum), it's just a check box for them, and a fall back career for you.
Best of luck!
