Reverse those two in order....That's what they're looking for. I've said in other posts...You can be a CP; ACP; Designated Examiner; tons of PIC; stable job history and longevity; 142 instructor/TCE etc...If you don't have a bachelor's degree, you can throw all of the above out the door. The degree is A number 1.
