I have seen a RAH guy crash the sim and was offered the job in a limo ride back to the airport. And you can always find a gouge online for the written test questions. and if you have your ATP you already took those freaking tests anyway. So i don't see how a traditional interview works any better.
To say that a phone interview is basically the same as a face-to-face interview is completely absurd. You just said the test, sim, ect was a joke; well at least you prepared for all that. That tells the company something (so does crashing the sim for that matter). Meeting someone in person can tell you a lot about them. What they're wearing, their manorisms, how they interact with others, ect. I honestly don't understand how you would hire someone to fly your airliner without at least meeting them.
