Default Unfinished Master's?

Hi all,

I have a Bachelor's that I completed in 2005, then an Associate's that I completed in 2006 (a little backward, but hey!). In 2007, I worked for a university that gave employees free tuition for a Master's degree, and I enrolled and signed up for a single class. I was working 60ish hours a week at the time, and simply didn't give it much attention. As such, I received an "F" in that class, and I shortly moved on to another job and didn't take any more classes.

Fast forward to today: I have that listed on airlineapps under Education History, with a 0.0 GPA. Definitely a little bit of a black eye, but it's honest. However, I have no way of explaining that on the application.

Does anyone feel that this would flag on an airline application for the "Big 6"?

Seems a bit silly asking this being 13 years (and 4 airlines) in the past, to be honest. Thanks!

Only 1 class towards a master’s degree? I would just leave it all with the bachelors degree.

I took one or two classes towards a masters degree, left it at that. With my application I just stuck with bachelors information.


Once you check the block for a 4-yr degree, including gpa, your flight time & history should take priority.

Thanks, and that’s simply what I’ve done previously (didn’t even list it). However, because my 4-year was done at the same University as the one Master’s class, it does show up on the transcript. It’s never been an issue for the 4 airlines I’ve worked for, but none have asked me for a transcript. I know at least Delta does.
