Only people that I know that gotr calls with less had higher Graduate GPA that averaged out.

I figured that would be the case.

Practically speaking, nobody's getting hired with 2000 *and* no degree. You might get hired with 2000 if it's mil or you have something that really makes you stand out.

In order to get hired without a degree you'll need significant aviation credentials, which in the civilian world means flight time.

I am as excited as anyone about lower minimums, but is there any indication that what is competitive is going to be any less? I have less than a 3.0 GPA but 4,000 plus hours and a significant amount of TPIC. Just curious if there is any word on the street. Thanks.
