In other news an applicant that I recommended was told he needed to have a graduate degree & higher GPA. It appears Delta Airlines is once again engaging in an astronaut style selection program. It also says something of our being the flavor of the day. Had a SWA pilot on the jumpseat sounding a lot like he wished he was at Delta the other day.
I didn't realize it took graduate studies to utilize Bernoulli's principle and Newton's third law of motion? It's weird your friend was told then when they are also taking just high school graduates without college degrees through preferential programs.
