In the late 80's Northwest Airlines put out ads out in the Star Tribune for pilots, and if you contacted them and met their minimums you were put in class. No interview. Two people in my family were hired that way. So yes, if the demand is there, it will happen at the majors, again.
And it's sort of happening now with the flows... Piedmont for example. If you get hired at Piedmont you allegedly flow to mainline AA with no interview. So guys may not even have a degree, have some skeletons, but if they can manage getting hired by Piedmont, they will get to AA eventually.
You talk like this no interview thing is so ludicrous. You're a broken record.
I hope you stick to your guns though. If United calls you in a couple years and invites you to class without a formal interview, you'll show them by staying at Skywest!! Gotta have principles I guess.
