FWIW my application was horrible, blanks everywhere, missing GPAs, no volunteer time, job descriptions very short, did not have all of mil schools, etc. I did NOT get a fix it email
I had an APC member review my app and it changed it tremendously and then an EC review. About a week later (@ a little less than 6 months to available) I got an invite. This was about a month ago. I took 7 years to get my undergrad (working, having kids, and lost about a year of credits due to degree change). My undergrad GPA was 2.7. No letters of rec, no internal recs. Low time single engine attack pilot (about 1600 TT). I do have some unique things in my background. According to the gouge above I shouldn't have gotten an invite, I am very greatful for the invite. So for all those who haven't gotten an invite, the gouge is not always true.

Till they re-shuffle sort rank compare contrast rack and stack and REDEFINE what "tier 1" is after running through the up till this time used "tier 1" criteria 
.
IOW, "supply and demand" catches up and what was at the top of "tier 2" now qualifies as "tier 1".
To some guys, a 2 at 10 is a 10 at 2, they just never tell her that

Re: "gouge is not always true".......yep, I agree with that 100%. Gouge is a guideline but not an absolute. One guy on another thread was kicked out of school for a 0.4 GPA. He rebounded and graduated with a 2.98 and then got a 4.0 on his Master's degree, yet he thinks he's screwed because of the 0.4. Not so, I told him. Delta is NOT looking for perfect pilots because quite frankly they don't exist. Congrats on the interview. Did it work out?

For the civilian guys, I have not gotten a call, late 40's, 6500tt, over 4000 PIC, 500 TPIC (turbo props, part 135), 2300 CRJ 2/7/9 part 121, engineering degree (2.82), 1/2 of a masters degree (4.0 currently), over 15 years of verifiable volunteer work, 6 internal recs, no dui's, no arrests (as an adult. Kids these days!). I have had an app in since 2008, I think. I have not done the job fair thing since 2010. No chance for chief pilot or training department in this decade. I'm hoping these quals put me in tier 2 for a call next year. We will see.
Good luck to all, and happy Thanksgiving!

I'd only list something under previously applied if you've actually interviewed previously. Your AirlineApps updates are all on the same application until it gets pulled for an interview. That's per multiple application reviews.
