It worries me that the least capable students find job. There's me assuming the aviation game was based on quality and safety.

No I don't think that's for me, I'm not a patient teacher unfortunately.
A shame, because good First Officers who progress to being good captains usually are patient teachers, because that is a significant part of what the job entails.

The "least capable" candidates are not the ones who get the jobs. It is usually the most capable. That is why the selection procedures are set up the way they are. A career as an airline pilot isn't a right, nor is it suitable for a great many people. There are plenty of people who fly as a hobby, or are involved with aviation in a whole spectrum of other spheres. Some of the advice above is spot on.
