I have been getting some mixed advice from people I have talked to in the industry. Am I better off getting my Bachelor's degree and then applying directly for the Majors when I reach my required hours? Is that unrealistic? Or am I better off trying to get into the regionals and take advantage of there "flow-through" program? Does anyone have an experience with this? Do the retention contracts prevent you from moving up the ladder sooner, as opposed to applying seperately once I have enough hours and Bachelor's degree?
