What kinds of other jobs have you been looking at which leads you to believe that no one else cares about grades? I think that you might be leading yourself down this road of thinking that is the case. Sure there are jobs out there that aren't going to care what grades you made in college or even if you went to college; but to say that the airlines are the *only* employers to care about grades is very shortsighted.

As for your comment about not wanting/planning to go the majors, why is that? You would certainly be in the minority again if you are a young airline pilot planning a long term career in the airlines and NOT really want to go to the majors. Are you thinking that your past history will keep you from going to the majors someday?
