It might be true, but don't bring it up in the interview!

Haha. No, only one, and it was because I didn't go. However, my GPAs the subsequent years were great. I'm assuming I'll have to put all four HS GPAs down, correct?

I don't know what they want to see these days. Better have a good story though. When in doubt....tell the truth, and that you have learned from your mistakes. I never had to show anything other than my face.

Texan Driver, like you, I went to multiple high schools (my Dad was AF too). On my app, I listed each separately since each was its own institution. In terms of dodging the fix-it emails and being transparent, it seems DAL prefers more info than less.

Hey Texan, I went to 3 (my dad was ALSO USAF), I put all three down separately and did my best to approximate the GPAs. I also went to 3 different colleges and did the exact same thing. It never came up.

Good luck!

Haha, so true though.

I got hired in 2010 with a 2.9 from a party and football school. I am pretty sure I slipped through the cracks. Talking to the guys on my interview day I had by far the fewest hours. About 2500 in which 1000 was PIC.

My High School though was one of the best in the state and I had a 3.8 so maybe that's why I got hired.

Guard guy- asks if the capt want the sports page

One exception: if you're an Air Force guy flying the 73N, you spin it to whatever it takes to hold what ATC told you to do. The window, sometimes, is just a suggestion.

But I'm such an addict

. I appreciate the information, I haven't interviewed for a job since I was a college student and to say I have any real understanding of how the airline hiring process is conducted would be a gross overstatement. Now back to the books...
