Default does pedigree matter?

In regard to some of the chatter on other threads, has anyone gotten the stink eye in an interview regarding the type of experience they had coming up? Do you feel that due to the type of training you had, it gave you an "in" or were "ruled out"? If hired, what have you heard gave you the edge in the interview and through out your initial training with the airline? I'd like to hear only from those with experience and not so much from those who "suspect".

Almost all the airlines prefer Riddle grads and will not hire you if you don't have a degree from Riddle.
