A lucky few were hired directly into widebody international (Anchorage based) by the Memphis cargo outfit. The degree is inconvenient and expensive but to get where you want to go you need it. There is no better time than the present. I was one of those lucky few and would not have even gotten the interview without it. Just saying.
Be thankful you'll at least have the opportunity to sit as an FE. Something that will most likely be an impossibility for me by the time I make it to your level.
