Every time I read one of these threads, I have to wonder if folks just do not have the logic and reasoning skills to look at facts and come to some conclusions about why things are the way they are.

The airlines have a lot of experience hiring pilots, and a substantial economic motive to pick the "right" ones -- those who will likely pass training and not cause problems over the long term either as employees or technicians. Regardless of if you think their selection logic makes sense, most of them have very good reasons to interview and hire the people they do.

Don't understand why? The answers to all of that can be found posted many times over among the debris in threads on this very topic over the years here on APC. A couple posts in this thread already hit the nail on the head, regardless of if any of you want to believe the truth of what was posted.

It isn't personal, it is just business.

There isn't some conspiracy to benefit others over you -- life just isn't fair.

The folks who are hiring set the rules of the game, not any of us.
