Well, sort of. But your first paragraph was more accurate.
If the applicant meets the minimum qualifications, then the applicant has what the airline is looking for. That's been proven time and time again as airlines hire from a broad spectrum of areas. Then the concept of flight time no longer matters and it's all about the applicants interview performance applies.
However, for the here and now, and the foreseeable future, NEITHER of the above said candidates will even get to demonstrate that unless.............wait for it..........wait for...........wait for it.............
THEY'RE NETWORKED AND KNOW SOMEBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
