From what I've learned here, most Regionals don't necessarily care if you have a degree, but a) things have gotten a lot tighter and they can be pickier about whom they hire b) if you want to go to a mainline carrier in future, assuming there is even an opening, not having a degree will not even get your resume' looked at.
It's really up to you whether or not having one is a must. But there is ample evidence that having one opens more doors than not.
You might be able to accelerate a lot of your degree plan based on your age and experience - my Dad actually did his MBA at Emory without an undergrad degree due to his management experience.
