Because to be under the impression that networking may not seem as important it is is naive at best.
If you were to take a poll of EVERY new hire class at UAL, the ones that networked in some fashion are in the majority. Doesn't matter if it was job fairs (multiple in many cases), the M&G's, interns, or whatever other method.
You'd also find that the ones that get "cold called" (for lack of a better term) are in the minority of a class.

Not to be rude, but how many hiring cycles have you witnessed and been a part of?

They were HIRED because they're good people, did a good job in the interview, probably did their homework/prep, and weren't an *********.

Yes, you are correct. However, the point still stands: they were selected from the stack based on qualifications not because they knew somebody.

The point was, people don't get through an interview based on their qualifications. You can rephrase your point however you wish, my point STILL STANDS.

Also keep in mind, that in this newer era of targeted selection/performance based interview system, NOBODY is hired on their qualifications.

For those with military time, did you add the mil conversion on your Airline Apps flight time? It doesn't seem like it does the conversion automatically when you compare with the different airlines.
Also, those who did a ORD CP meet and greet, was your LOR added to Airline Apps or not?
