Airline Pilot Central Forums

I know they look at college degree for sure. GPA is another thing they look at. 3.25GPA (3.0 is about as low as they like to go with some exceptions made) in college is kind of the bench mark they are looking for. It's the "if you can succeed in college then you can succeed in our training program" mentality. I know there's been a lot of talk (debate) on here about the two correlating.

Recency of flying time is big and previous 121 experience is big as well.

Apparently Compass is still being picky and can as they have so many applicants waiting to get calls.

Looks like an exception was made for me relative to GPA.

My GPA was below 3.0. I got the interview and a class date. Prior 121.

I was told 3.23 GPA, and obviously a college degree, was a benchmark. Depending on your 121 experience, recency and background there will be exceptions. Like you. Which airline did you come from? Congratulations btw.
