The people from my company that left and went to DAL/UAL/AK etc and had me scratching my head about what the above airlines were thinking all had one thing in common: Lots of outside degrees and just barely enough aviation experience. Just saying.
The degrees, volunteering, community service etc seems to be more valuable than actual aviation experience.
At some point the airplane still needs to be flown. Safely.

Seems like higher education (MBA, JD, etc) and things outside of aviation nowadays seems to trump ambassadorship to the profession such as due paying, CP, Check Airman, PIC time and longevity.

I am guessing most of us have not done the "extras" to warrant the selection. Having said that, I have put in the work to get those extras and still have nothing to show for the effort. I think once we have over 10k hours, they become less interested in us because they think we are an old dog that cannot learn new tricks.
The game has changed, we must adapt or die. Yeah, it sucks.
