In your specific circumstance, earning the aviation-focused degree isn't a bad deal at all. I've looked into similar programs as well. Does the college that's paired with your prospective flight school offer a four year option? If so, I'd opt for that route as you'll need 250 less hours to become R-ATP eligible. The plan for you would to be able to start CFI'ing during your junior and senior years to accrue additional flight time and make some extra cash. There's a college-administered part 141 program near my hometown that offers a track like that for four-year students. Again, just something to think about. If possible, your goal should be to secure employment by a regional airline upon graduation. Seniority is everything in this game and the faster you start checking boxes, the faster you get to play. Good luck, man!
