We can throw around made-up stats all we want--hiring is a complicated selection process that has nothing to do with the name of your crappy regional. There is not a filter option at United HR that says "search for all the Acey FOs, filter out Mesa pilots."
It doesn't matter about EEO/military/degree. Everyone knows you have to have a degree to move on to a major. So your argument is it doesn't matter if they are military or have a degree even if that makes them more competitive.
