Just curious.... As a line Captain I noticed that we seem to be hiring two kinds of pilots: 1. Experienced/qualified, and 2. Not ready for prime time

I would think that Line Captains or other experienced folks would be involved in the process to insure that the Not ready for prime time folks would be still waiting in line. For some reason, and I think it's some sort of HR thing we seem to be lowering our standards and qualifications for "special interest" category people. Our need for "diversity" may be resulting in lowering the bar.
