I wouldn't worry about the time it took to get the double major. I took 9 semesters for EE/ROTC to get 148 credit hours (I think it was like 124 required to graduate but my school didn't apply any of the ROTC classes towards my major). Coming out of the military you're used to all the tech majors out there. Once I got hired I have found very few people with tech majors other than those same guys who had them in the military. Not to say there aren't any, but for the most part the high % of engineering majors to become a pilot is a (stupid) military anomaly. In my non-insider information opinion, I think your double engineering major in 5 years is a plus, not a minus.

It's like the military prides itself on making officers get really hard degrees and then never let us use them. Other than looking good on my airline application, my engineering degree has done NOTHING for me since earning it over 20 years ago. Sorry for the minor rant .
