Feels like worse than that.

Turn downs I know of without identifying specifics: ex-mil from various fields, management pilots, those with union jobs/volunteers, tech degrees such as engineering.

One hire was a pilot I heard from a friend who knew them well said they were on many peoples' "no fly" list.

Another had what I'd call a somewhat meek personality. Nice enough but not as assertive as you might expect a CA to be.

So frankly, they are hiring the opposite of what you might expect.

Many people think it's random, based on results.

I know a pending example who's kind if a jerk and I bet they get hired.

Flew with one pilot who seemed fine to me skills and personality wise. Turned down.
