I'm just saying some majors consider it (known fact), not really advocating it myself. But if you're going to consider GPA, you should look at the what that really means on a case-by-case basis...which would include major and institution.
I respectfully disagree. I would say that would be the case, if you went to the naval academy, or the air force academy, but that's about it. Like I said earlier, you could be the most intellectual person on earth and gone to an ivy-league, even graduated with an amazing GPA however, none of that's going to mean a damn, if you have low flight time and and are a poor pilot. Also, if you're an engineering major, at MIT, why are you involved in professional airline flying? You could be working a much higher paying job, probably buy your own plane and fly for fun?
