Chris, Hi I am a CFI in your same situation. Approx. 1 year left to go for a 4 year university degree at ERAU. However I am a full time studnet only flying about an hour a week. I considered my options for a long time and talked to many people that have been there done that. I strongly believe the best way to go is to put your time in and get the degree. It is not worth half assing it just to get a regional airline job fast (one that you will make less than a manager at wal-mart). Your qualifications will be much better than your counterparts and when you do have the opportunity to advance to a position that requires a legit college degree, you'll have what you need when many of your peers will have a hard time advancing. It is important not to have tunnel vision on the whole regional airline job thing. Everybody on here loves to fly I know, but what happens if you have a freak accident that puts your medical out of commision? There will be plenty of flying opportunities out there for at least 5 or 6 years while everyone is retiring....if you do it the right way, a few months or a year to finish college won't make a bit of difference in your flying carreer......and you will have a legit degree!!! just what what I think....where are you in the boston area? I learned to fly at LWM..
