Then there's the trillion dollar bailout crisis we'll be seeing soon. That should be fun.

Maybe they don't have community service the last 5 years so they can raise twins and keep the wife from going instance. This is a horrible method in just assuming everyone is the same. Some of the smartest book people I have ever worked with or taught in life tend to be some of the dumbest when it comes to common sense. We all know that the captain with a 4.0 GPA vs a captain with a 3.2 isn't necessarily going to save the world. If the 3.2 guy is so much less then why hire them?
I get it, this all they can really go off of to go through the pool of applicants but to say that this determines the type of person they will always be is an extremely harsh judgement to make.

I had a 2.8 GPA in college and a degree in Philosophy with a minor in Geology. Not exactly ground breaking. I did graduate college with 1500 hours flight time and a couple hundred turbine, though. I was among the first to get hired in 2007, so the competition was pretty high.
They look at the big picture and don't go extreme on minutia.

Don't stay at the Motel 6 to save $40 and walk down Virginia Ave or depend on a hotel shuttle somewhere else. Get in early, stay at the Hilton, get your shoes shined downstairs, have a beer, get a good night's sleep for $110...and in the morning walk across the street to the gate like you own the world!
Now back to the standard hiring questions...
