So if you have 1500 hours and a 4 year degree, I would say you have preference over a 2000+ hour guy (with similar flight background) that doesn't have the degree on his resume...
Regionals will choose college grads when the market allows them to be picky. College grads are likely to leave after a few years as a CA, keeping longevity costs lower. HS grads are very likely to be lifers, and will drive longevity costs up.
