Just a thought: but why not get your degree while you're enlisted, let them pay for your school, pick up a comission, and let the military teach you to fly. Skip the regionals go straight to the Majors, and when the industry takes a dump as it so often does you just pick up extra flying in your Reserve unit. And you will probably have a lot more fun, make more money, and be a lot more likely to get on with a major. It may sound like a long road but in the end you will be a lot further ahead. Just my two cents. Good Luck.
