I had an APC member review my app and it changed it tremendously and then an EC review. About a week later (@ a little less than 6 months to available) I got an invite. This was about a month ago. I took 7 years to get my undergrad (working, having kids, and lost about a year of credits due to degree change). My undergrad GPA was 2.7. No letters of rec, no internal recs. Low time single engine attack pilot (about 1600 TT). I do have some unique things in my background. According to the gouge above I shouldn't have gotten an invite, I am very greatful for the invite. So for all those who haven't gotten an invite, the gouge is not always true.
Re: "gouge is not always true".......yep, I agree with that 100%. Gouge is a guideline but not an absolute. One guy on another thread was kicked out of school for a 0.4 GPA. He rebounded and graduated with a 2.98 and then got a 4.0 on his Master's degree, yet he thinks he's screwed because of the 0.4. Not so, I told him. Delta is NOT looking for perfect pilots because quite frankly they don't exist. Congrats on the interview. Did it work out?
