Aero Crew,
Thank you for your updates.
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.

You will be fine. They look at the overall package. They do understand the military side of your background. As a example they will wonder about a guy who did not check out as a PIC in a reasonable amount of time. 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.

Just want to say "thanks" to all who have posted on the Airline Apps info that needs to be corrected. I got a "fix it" note about a missing GPA, but after reading your posts I found MULTIPLE problems with my application that I figured were not a big deal.
Really appreciate the help and advice!

So I currently have about 2400 hrs total, around 1100 turbine PIC, currently flying and instructing in the P-8A (739) internationally. Feel that I am getting close to being competitive. If not now, then maybe in another year or two.
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....

most pilots have amazingly impressive resumes. Whether its XX,000 hrs, or PIC, or 20 airplanes, or service academy, or awesome GPA, or you were NCAA all American, or #1 in UPT, or whatever it may be, you're competing with a lot of independent, highly motivated and talented people. There are literally thousands of impressive resumes out there. Take a look at the people that are getting hired and I think you'll agree that where one might be perceived to be lacking or mediocre, they make up for it elsewhere in a big way. There are around 9,000 applications on file with DAL!

Be sure to bring that attitude to the interview. I got furloughed about 11 years ago. Hope you got that quick upgrade to the left seat so you could do the same job that furloughed DL pilots used to do but for G scale wages. What is G scale now, $80-90k? 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 hear you, Bar..I just want to remind RJ Captains about some of the positive benefits they've enjoyed for the last decade that they can talk about during the interview. 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.
