Tough to not continue feeling down on myself given the stakes. Hoping for the best.
Was it a drastic change? Like 2.0 to 4.0? or a few decimal places?

I haven't heard of anyone actually having an interview invite rescinded, and certainly not for one single data entry error.
Had to adjust it down (3.6 down to roughly 3.2). Stupid mistake. Sucks. Should have used a prep service to review. Lesson learned and hope I’m still in the game.

For all the attention to detail Delta pays to the individual's application, I've had to laugh at several of the typos I've seen in their onboarding material. Mistakes happen. If you have an interview scheduled you'll have a chance to explain the mistake to the human being. You're not hiding anything, so I think you'd be good.

Thanks. Spotless background otherwise, both personal and professional / training standpoint. Hoping for the best.

Total. Non. Issue.

Stop stressing, you’ll be fine. I’ve seen much bigger differences get the job.

Good, glad to help. We all are. You’ll want to be relaxed at your interview. Be yourself, and prepare according to all the trip reports, and you’ll do fine. Best of luck.

It was well worth the money in my opinion.
Thank you MedStudent2021!

So why would someone get asked in the interview as to why they obtained a degree if Delta dropped the degree requirement? As if the degree was obtained that recently. Kind of a strange question to ask. Doesn’t Delta value education?

Who cares why they ask anything. The interview is a performance, what they ask and why are meaningless. Just play your part and have an answer and don’t read too deeply into any of it. They also used to force people to study for and take a totally asinine and meaningless job knowledge test.

Airline interviews are a hazing process, none of it matters as long as you pass, regardless of what the retired captain interview dorks and HR people say. Just do your prep, get the job, and move on, none of it matters after that.
