I'm guessing that they are looking at the "whole person".
Plus: Mil wings, degree, and presumably responsible adult employment.
Minus: Relatively low time for mobility. What has this person been doing in his civilian time to further his aviation career progression?
Essentially a part-time pilot applying for a full-time job. And there are many full-time pilots applying for the same job.
That's just my guess, if I see one thing he could do to move the ball down the field quickly it would be fly full time. Even going on orders would probably help, if he gets the hours.
I'm pretty sure they'll call him as the retirements ramp up and he builds hours, just depends on how big of a hurry he's in, and how much major seniority he's willing to forfeit to avoid regionals, 135, etc.
