Statistics show a very high correlation between a masters and employment at the best majors.
But in this case correlation is not causation. Military officers are groomed to be future senior leaders, and will almost invariably acquire a masters on government time, government dime, or both. Since mil pilots are the preferred candidate for the bigs, statistics will show a lot of their hires have a masters.
But with that said, it IS a check box on the app, it does show that you may be more interested in learning than a pilot with an online diploma mill degree in "Aviation Life Experience", and for a civilian it is one of those things which will help you break out from the line pilot pack and get noticed. TPIC and leadership (LCA, CP, Union, Training) are more important though, so prioritize accordingly. Also multiple types are more important in most cases.

I said it demonstrates that you like to learn, which they otherwise might not see. They know you either like to learn, or are very goal oriented. Neither is bad in this context.
I didn't say if you don't have a masters that you don't like to learn. Same with a fill-in-box degree, they know what that's for, and learning isn't it.
If you're getting arrogance out of that, you're overly sensitive about something.
