Well, it may take the airlines about that long to realize how short they really are and pony up the costs themselves? at least you'll have a 4 year degree?

I'd rather have 4 yrs in at a regional with a degree 1/2 done vs a four year degree complete 200TT and 200k in debt.

I don't know how many hours you have, but if you can wait, I think that as the pool dries up, of ATP pilots, the airlines themselves will push for a change. There are plenty of jobs that don't require ATP.
