I have two friends that just got hired with similar backgrounds but their GPA is 3.9 and 3.7 so that is why I think their is so much weight to GPA.
Again I think you're focus may be off on the GPA. A lot of info can be gleaned from airline apps. In reference to just the college section alone:Which school for that GPA? They like Riddle, UND and Purdue type aviation degrees. How long did it take for that GPA? What awards scholarships or extra curricular were being pursued while getting said GPA?
It's hard to decipher their rhyme or reason. I know there are guys with what I think are more impressive resumes than mine still waiting for the call. But just because you or I think something is more competitive for a call doesn't mean Delta does.
