Another non-Mother Teresa type here. I had a similar experience with my "volunteerism" as well. I didn't think to put anything on the app since what I do is very sporadic and more along the lines of helping friends with their causes (some financial and technical expertise for a friend's non-profit, speaking to high school classes and at career days for teacher friends, etc). They asked about it in the interview and that's basically what I told them. FWIW, and this is purely my perception, they seemed to like the "solid guy ready to help a friend or the community in any small way he can" vs. "I build houses in Africa on my days off to hopefully get some attention for an interview" angle.

So here is a question.
I already have a four year degree and good GPA. I took a couple community college classes a few years back in accounting to become more financially literate and did well in them and enjoyed it.
Last year, I thought about taking additional classes towards my accounting degree. I enrolled at a different online community college for classes. I ended up taking only the orientation class which was graded pass/fail (I passed). I ended up not taking any more classes since I ended up upgrading, needed to focus on training, and things finally started moving nicely in the industry and decided to pursue it at a later date (layoff or medical issue).
So, i technically have a transcript from this college and all it shows is the "success" for the orientation class. I included this in my education section of airline apps, but I left the GPA blank since I don't have any classes that count toward GPA (Technically, I guess that would mean a 0 GPA).
Is not including a GPA going to hurt? I put a note in field of study that read "Accounting, only took orientation class, did not take any classes that count towards GPA"
All my other GPA's for my four year degree and the first community college are above 3.9

It sounds like you handled it just fine. It gets scored by a human, so a N/A and explanation should be no problem.
