Your not going to be washed out. It is just a way to separate you from the pack and get you noticed sooner. Anything different or unique is good.

Hearing this is just plain frustrating.
Working in college means something don't worry.

I've scoured airline apps and don't see a good place to put volunteering information. Where are you guys putting it?

I got two fix-it emails 8 months ago. One was to add my flight schools that I attended in college the other was to fix my flight history on my application...it's been crickets since which is a bad sign. The trend it seems is if you're going to get an invite after the fix-it email is it happens a few days to weeks after. I'm not giving up on Delta cause it's really where I want to be. I've had aerocrew go through my app with me and multiple other dudes from my squadron. I update often and continue to build my resume in hopes of receiving the interview invite.

I'm guessing there is no way to tell if your app has been scored already?

I got a fix it email two years ago that said I had an employment history gap. To date I have not found such gap. All dates are linked from end date to start date dating back to HS. I cleaned up my app as far as dates were concerned and promptly sent them an email back thanking them and saying I believed to have rectified the issue. Crickets since then. I have networked my way through friends and acquaintances all the way to AK who said my app had been scored and I'm "currently not among the most competitive candidates". So, in the end, I don't know if it is in the circular file or still on the pile waiting for them to get to tier 67.

This is the most frustrating thing I've ever done. I feel like their system is so unknown (how they want it) and no feedback is given to anyone so if it is a simple fix or a misunderstanding, I could never know about it to fix it, explain it, or improve on it. While in their eyes, they have more applicants than they can shake a stick at, I feel like a lot of good people are falling through the cracks that don't need to be. Anyway, rant over...when I can get hired and work there for a long time and get myself appointed to run the selection committee I will be able to do things my way but until then, I will keep my head up and press on like everyone else.

Good luck!

You can be sued now if you ask that question in an interview. You can't even ask a person where they are from?
