Apparently the pilot selection departments for UAL, Alaska, DAL, JetBlue, Eagle, ASA(XJet), SkyWest, Compass, Horizon are all "full of crap" too? They all have strong leanings toward Tier 1 AABI pt141/142 aviation program grads. Why? Because the findings of their internal studies are congruent with the studies conducted by other industry experts.
What you "witnessed with [your] own two eyes" was an exception to the rule and hardly constitutes any type of empirical data.
