I have heard that GPA is a big deal when it comes to electronic scoring. I have heard community service is another big deal on the electronic scoring too. I applied last November and have not heard a word. I have almost the same application as his but I am a simulator instructor for a 121 operation. I just can't put my finger on what they are really looking for. I have a lower GPA, failed a checkride and only applied in November. So those variables must make my electronic score much lower than his. I know the SLC Delta Chief Pilot and met Jim Graham, I have like 4 internal letters of recommendation and I'm just dying to know where I sit on the list to be called one day.
If I had to guess, I'd say you're in the fat part of the bell curve for getting a call in the next year or so as the pace of hiring continues to increase. Your chances are pretty good IMO. Good luck.
