I may be wrong, but I don't think it takes a degree to realize that waiting to get your degree, or waiting until the requirements change, is a money losing proposition. While you wait them out, how many years are you no longer able to earn $300k+?
A degree may cost $100k, but not having one could cost at least $1M+ in earnings. Don't be mad at your money.

737 NG type rating worth it?
I was looking to get the opinion of the new hires (especially military) on going to get a 737 NG type or possibly Airbus 320 rating to set myself apart. My targeted companies United, Delta, Southwest, and Fedex.
Is it worth it in today's hiring environment to use my benefits for the type to maybe get in sooner or just wait it out? If so 737NG or Airbus 320? Lastly recommendations, I'm currently looking at CPT (crew pilot training).
ATP, CFII, MEI
BE200 Type (Army C-12)
3300TT
2300 Mult-eng Turbine
1000 TPIC
120 Instructor
All military time
Bachelor's in Business

Just keep flying and keep updating your application at lease monthly.
Your time will come. Good luck!

Lower end of spectrum flight time or higher time FO that can't hold upgrade yet?
Company/Union volunteer or regular "clock puncher"?
Clean record or a blemish or 2?
You referenced DAL specifically. Read any DAL tread and you'll notice it's all subjective/relative with no "magic formula".
But it won't hurt, so put it on your app, where they want you to.

PS....some regionals now pay new hires more than several of the LCCs (no secret there).
