It's the standard corporate cost benefit analysis model. College degree Y/N is one block. How many blocks to cover Boeing, Airbus, MD and every other manufacturer out there? What about the pilot who has 10,000 Citation time? What if he didn't work as a professional pilot, but it was his daddy's? The point is, while I agree with you the system isn't fair nor all encompassing, the reason they do it that way is because it's cheaper to do it that way rather than how you and I think it should be done.
