I had to graduate in 3 years so I could pay for flight training. I was taking 20-25 credits per semester and during one semester I tanked as a family member was terminally ill. Out of my 6 semesters, all but one had a GPA of 3.4 or so.
How can I explain (on my app) this situation so I can reduce the negatively of the 2.9?

Same boat! Served 4 years in the Navy then go out and did a couple years on campus before switching to online and working/flying full-time. GPA suffered as I bite off more than I could chew (taking 2-3 classes an online term and flying 90hrs a month.) I'm doing everything I can to stand out in other areas, and I really hope Delta notices that. Only time will tell! We just have to keep the faith. :-)
