Having been in your shoes, I'll bite and respond to your post in order to save you a world of ass-pain I went through in various aviation programs and dealing with the bureaucracy of the VA. A regional airline partnership is a nice concept but should be the least of your concerns. These programs only guarantee an interview when you meet ATP or Restricted-ATP minimums through building experience as a Flight Instructor. If you meet ATP mins, you will probably get an interview anyway..... at least right now in the short term.
Consider, the government pays 100 percent of flight training at public university/college that lead to a degree AND also pay your living expenses. You have the golden tick to go virtually anywhere in the country. Do not limit yourself to a geographical area and get stuck with a horrible flight school. Pick an aviation program that will SUCCESSFULLY get you to where you want to be as a professional pilot in the QUICKEST way possible even if that includes relocating. You will need to move A LOT anyway to get the jobs you NEED to advance in the aviation industry while chasing QUALITY OF LIFE.

With this in mind, I found aviation programs at a Community College with a QUARTER-term academic schedule AND own their fleet of aircraft to be the best value. WHY? In general, Community College flight programs will be 100 percent covered by the GI Bill along with the greatest amount of flexibility as far as course load, how you choose to fly, and completing certificates. With a quarter term, you can complete more courses towards your ratings and more frequency in accessing flight labs to meet aeronautical experience requirements. I would stay away from Community Colleges that contract their flight training to FBOs/flight provider; they are more of mom and pop operations have limited resources, lack of standardization, and high instructor turn-over due to low pay (i.e. the only multi-engine airplane in the fleet that needs an engine swap right before your check-ride and you wait months for maintenance – true story). There may be a lack of structure that will hurt your progression. For example, an instructor did not adequately plan to get a student to checkride on a reasonable amount of time causing massive delays with no assurances on any future date even though he or she met the standards (happened to me). Oh, the attrition rate at these Community Colleges are not great. You will also lose out on some of the big university experience. After you get all your certs, just transfer to a big university like I did.

So, my top three recommendations are:

Big Bend Community College (Quarter)
Northern Michigan College (Semester)
Cochise Community College (Semester)

P.S. After you get your certs. Transfer to a 4-year university (Florida) pursuing non-aviation degree. Something you can fall back on! If you are a CFI, you can teach on the side or fly skydivers on the weekends while attending school. My last advice is do not be in such a hurry to the majors, enjoy life and the college experience
