Kinda blows your theory out of the water.
The interview is mainly about personality at some places, and that seems to work well for them. Flying airplanes these days is more about mental capacity than stick and rudder skills. Yes, important to still be able to operate a plane but I think by the time you've got to that point, with very few failed check rides, etc you can do that.
Sweet name drop. No one cares that you were hired at a major. For being someone so proud of all the things you've accomplished, you might want to take some of your days off to learn how to read. I never said that a sim ride has anything to do with hiring. What I said was(and I'm going to make this REALLY easy for you to understand) even during a shortage, employers are going to be picky. They don't want to waste time and money (thousands to tens of thousands of dollars) on someone who isn't going to hack it. Just because you hold a certificate doesn't automatically make you employable.
