All I'm saying is when comparing real world hiring quals, Airtran can stand against any airline.
I am not sure why companies choose to hire those who appear to be less qualified either. Same discussion occurred in the early 90's with the hiring priorities for UAL. People with 500 hours were being hired while my buds weren't even getting a call (some with 3000+ hours in fighters). Talk about head scratching. I have even flown with one of our priority new hires who received a 737 rating for free (they called it a scholarship). He wasn't the least bit grateful to be here.
Those priorities and why companies use them is WAY above our pay grade.
