I had to list HS on my application, with GPA. They did not require your HS transcript, but they do require college transcript(s) at the interview. I would say that if you had a lower GPA in high school and a good GPA in college, then that shows good progression and tells a good story.

Don't recall that they cared about HS, but they busted by nuts on a D I got in Freshman Engrish. Re took the class for an A and graduated with a 3.75 and then went on for a Masters, but, darned if my Delta personnel file says I may not be good in a job which requires writing.
You should be fine unless they see your screen name

Just curious if DAL needs GPA from high school? I have my graduating GPA from my BS Degree, but did not list high school. Should I get my transcripts from HS and put it on? It was a pretty pathetic GPA compared to my college GPA. Any positive words from guys that had less than stellar grades in HS but turned things around big time in college?

C+ student in HS and undergrad. 3.9+ in challenging Masters (definitely not "pay the fee, get the B"). I got asked about that in the interview.

The GPA stuff is ridiculous. Pretty soon they will be needing guys so bad the only requirement is that you have seen an airplane in your life. 
I know it is what it is -- but really? Your HS or College GPA? It's like all these airlines are picking folks to send them into space.

Did anyone go to a high school that didn't use a 4.0 scale? Ours was on a 0-110 scale.
For tickets, do you put all of the tickets you've ever received or just the ones on your driving record? I have a couple that aren't on my record anymore and I have no info on them. I guess I could ballpark the dates?

For speeding tickets, my official state record is clean, but I had at least five that I can recall from my younger days. I put them all down, noting "estimated" for the details. Got one question about my most egregious offense (97 in a 65), and explained that I learned my lesson and have matured (OBTW, that was my last ticket, 17+ years ago, knock on wood).

Delta can afford to be picky and I highly doubt "they will be needing guys so bad the only requirement is that you have seen an airplane in your life".
