They ask precisely about this in the interview. 100%. Its not a deal breaker. Same for tickets. Yes tickets are a negative. But tons of pilots get hired with tickets, many with multipile and recent tickets. The point system doesn't mean one negative and you're buried in tier 4.
Roger. Just so we're factually correct then...for the purpose of getting an interview ASAP, the 4 year degree completion "on Daddy's dime" IS better than working through college and finishing in 5, all else being equal. That's opposite from what you originally posted.
