I feel like many of the pilots applying for these low time 135 jobs often have their CFI but rarely their 4 year.
They absolutely don't care that you have a degree. When the demand for low time pilots allows them to raise their hiring minimums and save on insurance they do. The thing I've seen help low time people is multi time if that operator flies multiengine aircraft. 300hrs with 100ME may help someone. Or same scenario with tailwheel time for tailwheel operators. The sweet spot for wet commercial pilots was 2017-2018. Probably will be a few years until we see that again.
