Not knowing anything about where you live or your career goals, I would say that there are better choices out there right now. But then again, not having to commute is worth its weight in gold and both those companies have historically had pretty decent work rules.
Also, right now I have about 700/25 for flight time (I am a current CFI), and will hopefully be getting another 30 or so multi hours within the next couple of months.
Jebus...get some more time first. Lets say a year from now, you're out on your arse for one reason or another. Economy is in the toilet (trust me, it will be) and now places are requiring 1000PIC for an interview. Where will you be? Just a scenario to think about. Oh, and there are a lot of guys that do online classes but they do take longer and sound like they can be a pain sometimes, but thats just what I've heard from people I've flown with, no first hand experience.
Freezingflyboy, I will not have a 4 year degree at that time (I'm a junior now for a BA), but have been doing it online for a while, so I'll still continue online, just at a slower pace.
I know jumping into the airlines is very attractive right now, but you're young. Slow down and enjoy the ride. At 21 you should be getting hammered at college parties, waking up in strange places next to people you can't remember the names of. Gotta have a base for all those crazy stories you tell over a beer on the overnight.
