Of course it is. Saw a very low time (very polite and ambitious lady) no turbine pic time, get sucked into a legacy last month. Happens all the time and you'd be a fool to deny that there are minorities in the airline biz that get to cut the line to the top. Do I blame them for taking advantage of it, no. But it is kinda BS to those of us with 10x the experience getting no calls and every bit as polite and ambitious.
