Cumalative GPA?
 

Ok...we have established that a 4 year college degree is important if you want any kind of future in the majors. Is your cumaltive GPA going to make it difficult to get hired if it is below average? How about the length of time it took to get the 4 year degree?

My impression is that they don't care how you got the degree, as long as you can produce a 4 year degree.:rolleyes:

Your GPA is important! A good GPA opens up more opportunity for financial aid. Do the airlines care about your GPA? No, as long as you got the degree it shows that you can start something and finish it.

The more experience you have and the longer away from college GPA becomes less important. However, many airlines want to see transcripts. If you're much below a 3.0 at least be prepared to be queried on it.

During my interview at UPS, the Flt Ops interviewer spent at least 15 mins looking over my transcripts from undergrad and grad school. The only compliment I received during the interview was with regards to my high GPA in undergrad school.

I would say this is an anomoly to what usually happens...but in my case it worked.

Crap....so i'm guessing class got in the way of my drinking is not the right answer!

I have only interviewed once (with a guard unit) and my GPA (below 3.0) never came up. But like slice said if less than 3.0 be prepared to be questioned on it.

Airlines often score applicants using a point system. You get points for many things, flight related and otherwise. A 4-year degree definately is worth points (often a hard requirement), but a higher GPA may earn more points.

This applies to job opportunities in general...unless you are going to operate your own business, any large company will consider how well you did in school and in previous jobs. Until you are permanently employed at your dream airline (is permanent even possible) do the best you can in everything...it might make all the difference. Also try to avoid getting violated or failing training in a 121 environment. Everybody understands that s^&* happens in 91, but 121 problems are harder to overcome down the road.
