"Big airlines" may indeed "like to pre select their inexperienced pilots" wheelbarrow, but you forget that this country is in fact one of only a handful in the world where big airlines are daft enough to employ inexperienced pilots in the first place, let alone spend their hard earned cash on actually paying for their training
Try and get an ab-initio sponsorship out of United Airlines or American or Delta sometime, and watch them hit the ground laughing at the very concept of letting some greenhorn CPL anywhere near their airplanes
