And for all the "GPA must be 3.99 or higher" crowd, I got hired from an SEC school with a 2.7. They did ask why it was low. Luckily I was very active in things in college other than going to class (fraternity pres, student gov, and of course...beer, football, women!) I stand by my theory that it is a total person concept the hiring folks look for. Internal recs, quals, GPA, extra curricular, etc. They all play into getting you the interview. Interview gets you the job. Good luck lads!

How long ago were you hired is the real question? I have a buddy that got hired with a 2.8 GPA but that was several years ago when they didn't have 10,000 applications. He even said himself that he doesn't think he would get called today if he were to apply. May how times have changed.

October last year. The guys I interviewed with were all very qualified from different backgrounds. Some were legacys, some had networked their butts off at conferences. Some had masters, some didn't. Some came from academy backgrounds, some from basic state schools. There was really no pattern aside from everyone being extremely driven to work for Delta. So who knows what the magic formula is.
I'm confident that if your stats are good and your Airline Apps is complete, you'll eventually get the call. What happens after that is up to you. Cheers.

Srsly tho, I get the angst. Really. Just be patient and persistant. The hiring has just started. For OTS candidates, its just barely started.

If you get an email from [email protected] asking you to update a few things on your application, is this some mass email because of an application change or are they actively looking at my app? Thanks!
