A two year contract slows your advancement to a major airline. If you hustled you could easily get to 1500 hrs quicker than you will under their two year contract.
Every additional month you stay under the contract, vs hustling without a contract, might cost you $25,000 - $35,000, per month, at the end of your career.
For the ability to advance faster I’d pay the $8,000 - $10,000 and get the CFI on my own.

As a student that is currently enrolled in a 141 University, I can tell you these are basic questions a lot of people have but I can share what I have found is worth to really spend the money on. Buy fore flight it will help so much in VFR flight planning for private, always good to do planning a paper sectional as well. It will make instrument training a thousand times easier with having every approach plate you need in a tablet. You can have it loaded ready to go in your lap instead of flipping through it while flying the plane. Commercial training becomes easier with planning longer cross countries. Also if you have the money get the bose A20. I’ve tried them all and those are a league above the rest. After trying them out I have finally decided to take the plunge and buy a pair. Find a cfi that is willing to let you use their number and you can get a 125 dollar rebate.
4 year degree seems to be still necessary to get to the majors. There is always stories of people making to the regionals with no 4 year but your best bet is to have a 4 year and a clean record
Learn the e6B my school makes you use them in stage checks and you never know if they’ll make you work numbers out on a check ride. Good luck!

I currently have a 4 year degree but the school I went to didn't have a flight training program.
I intend to learn the E6B if for no other reason than it looks cool. I actually have an old E6B as well as a CPU-26A/P "Computer, Air Navigation, Dead Reckoning" which looks to be identical except for the NSN. In the coming weeks I will teach myself how to use them so I am prepared.

I didn't know you could flow from an American owned regional to American without a 4 year degree. Since it doesn't matter to me because I have a 4 year degree it is still pretty cool.
