At least give the pilots a one time rec that carries more weight than a simple app scoring. JMHO.
I agree with everything that you say and I guess my point was missed. The only people that seem to have the ability to go in and have pull with getting a candidate hired now a days work in offices not flight decks. Just my opinion watching hiring go from Plato to present day. 4 busted checkrides at a regional shows a trend to me and I'll stand by my assessment that this guy/gal just jumped over many more candidates that were much more qualified.
