Bachelor of Arts or Science???

Obviously flight experience is quite important, but looking to the future, after the regionals, do major carriers care if the degree you have is a B.A. or a B.S.??

for instance, if it came down to two people in the hiring process (maybe a job in the right seat of a 737) who both had basically the same amount and quality of flight experience and one had a B.S. in Aviation form a decent school, and one had a B.A. in aviation from a decent school, would the degree matter? or would it come down to references and who the employer knew better? or possibly the nitty gritty details of each applicants quality of flight experience?

my big concern is whether or not I should go for a Bachelor of Arts degree in Aviation (4-year degree) or Bachelor of Science degree in Aviation (also 4-year degree, but more math and science involved that doesn't necessarily pertain to your career of choice...) either way I get the same flight experience from the school to become an instructor and go from there...

thnx in advance for advice!!!
