Anyone who gets an interview should prepare and enlisting the help of experts, like the service you offer, improves their odds of getting hired greatly. Practice makes perfect. For a $5,000,000 + career, there is no better deal.

They also know a 2.96 from a service Academy is worth a lot more then a 3.7 from SDSU where I went to school.

Really appreciate the help and advice!

I was told last night that Delta won't even look at you if your GPA is less than a 3.0. Is this true? I had a 2.96, can I round up?
I'm working on Master's now, would that offset my paltry undergrad GPA?
Thanks!!

Maybe that's why I haven't had Delta call....I was below 3.0 in high school/college ....Though I did graduate #1 at UPT for the Air Force, you would think that would amount to something......oh well........It's all a crap shoot....

How long did it take you to upgrade and how many hours of TPIC did you log while you pulled into mainline gates flying hub to hub? Did you non rev on mainline with your family? Are you part of a flow up to Delta? Are you gonna take all that PIC time and interview with any other airlines?
Sorry to bring this up again..but I just don't buy this "poor RJ captain" crap..and I will remind everyone whenever I hear this BS sob story..especially from potential new hires.

I know 2 of the new hire interviewers and they've had a high wash out rate for rj drivers who didn't prepare for the HR interview because they were "entitled and had already been doing the same job" for the last 10 years. Apparently, one pilot actually pulled out his DCI badge and said "I get a job" when the interview went downhill. He was wrong.
But I'm sure if a rejected candidate just says "life goes on, man", they'll get over it a lot faster than 1310 of us got over our furlough.

You should have a great career if you get hired at the front of the wave.
