It might be a lot of work, but getting your ratings, 1500 hours, and a regional job, while doing part time online school could be the quickest way to a major.

This. Timing and seniority is everything. While the conventional advise is get a degree (because that's what society tells us is the normal thing to do) if you absolutely know what you want to do for a living and it doesn't require one, then why bother?
If you want to work on it online while you fly for a regional then more power to you but we work in a seniority based industry, where time waits for no one.
Not that it matters, but I do have a 4-year degree so I'm not saying this because I never got one.
