Default Delta GPA Requirements

I know asking for college transcripts at interviews is a formality and most places (especially my current employer) don't care what your GPA was but apparently Delta gives a hoot. Goofed off in college like an idi*t and wish I didn't.

Anybody know if they have a GPA requirement? Anybody hear of somebody getting a CJO with a sub-3.0?

Asking for a friend.

*Looks around* Raises hand! Sub 3.0 here hired in 2014. I even know a few guys with a DUI (nearly 2 decades prior) hired in this wave. I wouldn't sweat it, just be prepared to explain it. Own it and you'll be fine.

There’s no GPA requirement anymore. All airlines are out of candidates. Getting hired now is as easy as its ever been.

Yes you can!

But, expect a question about it. I had a 3.75 in Undergrad with a 3.98 in my Master's (which included the Section 8 accounting exam passed on the first try, which has a 20% pass rate). They managed to ask me about a D I got in Freshman Engrish that I re-took and got an A.

Then they put in my eval that I likely was not good at written communications (according to a buddy that looked).

I’m sure you have no worries . They aren’t even requiring degrees anymore. Maybe the college propel kids have to maintain a certain GPA, but regular OTS hires I’m sure they don’t care anymore. You’d probably be safe even if you did time in San Quentin or Rikers.

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

2.83 in an engineering major. Definitely at least one 'D' on my transcript. GPA never came up. They were more interested in why I transferred; the reason was a girl...

CJO 6 weeks ago. Good luck!
