I have a college degree and will be competitive within the next year or two for whenever Delta starts hiring again.

I doubt they'll really check my transcripts but I don't want to lie on the application either in the rare event that they actually do. I know this is one small detail among many but this is the question I have...
I would be very suprised if they
didn't check your transcripts.
As for the GPA it depends on where and what you studied. A 2.5 in MIT astropysics would probably impress them a lot. A 2.5 in basket-weaving with a double minor in feelings and entitlement will probably underwhelm. In any case, if you have an otherwise strong app and if you go in prepared and do well at everything else, I would be shocked if they didn't hire you.
