Well, I am not going to discount a good education because it is important.
On another note, as a CFI I trained Honeywell engineers with MS and PhD's degrees daily since we had a deal with Honeywell. Brilliant minds these guys had but when it came to flying a 172 they were retards.
So to say a potential candidate with a 3.9 GPA and a history major is going to be more analytical and able to pick up concepts quickly is slightly skewed, IMO.
