Should you? Hard to say, a lot depends on you. But you probably should not...odds are low that your career will go further or faster without a degree, even with a four year head start. If you're in that big of a hurry, do flight training and work as a CFI while in college.

Possible, yes. Likely, no. You would really need remarkable credentials or connections. Frankly nobody in their right mind sets out to achieve a major airline career without a degree these days. For the folks who pulled it off, they either started a long time ago when the degree wasn't considered as heavily, or life just sort of happened along the way.
Oh yeah, did anybody mention that you can get laid in college? That's more important than flying at your age...
