If you don't apply the answer is no. I know more than a few folks who got hired with not so impressive GPAs/majors. The masters will help (that was what some of them concluded).

You obviously graduated with better than a 0.4....and got a masters. You might suck, but I wouldn't give up just because you had a crappy term or two. It will be apparent in your app that you overcame it.
As an aside, D also has the rep of being obsessed with speeding tickets. I was a little embarrassed how many I've accumulated over the years (7ish?). I got interviewed. Where I mentioned how I'd gotten another one between the invite and the actual interview (on base and therefore on no record they could pull, I'm pathologically honest). Far as I could ascertain, not a single F was given, by anyone.
Worry about what you can control. Past is past. I've met one or two fighter pilots at Delta, I think they like you guys.
Agreed!
There's obviously no way you graduated college with a "0.4". So you screwed up early in your undergraduate studies. Show them you learned from it (which is obvious from your Bachelor's and Master's) and that should do it. Delta is not looking for "perfect" pilots because there ain't no such thing, but they are looking for honest pilots and guys who can show they learned from their mistakes.
