No, by the time you get your degree and 1500 hours things likely will be at a point the regionals will start hiring again. My guess that will be 5 or 6 years away. Even if it is a year or two longer, it is better to have everything out of the way and keeping your application active. You can take a job doing something else at that point. If you defer getting your 4 year degree and your 1500 hours, when they are ready to call, they will not call you. You won’t be ready.
