No one can answer that. I'm not even sure the recruiters could answer that. The only people that can answer that is the recruiters and they are tight lipped about everything. It's frustrating. I'm there with you. I'm a Captain with lots of volunteer time, a clean record, and I'm a legacy. That used to mean something, today it doesn't. I did 61 training, went to a small state university, majored in something other than aviation, and don't have a great GPA. I'm concerned I will never make it to an interview level. They just seem to put so much weight into aviation universities and GPA's. Keep updating and good luck.

Right, me too. But the question is do they take those things into account when it's the algorithm scoring the app? I can't rightly explain why my gpa was lower because I was working etc. If I can't get in front of the panel in the first place.

Now, against what standard the people score the app, nobody outside the circle of trust really knows.
No algorithm to getting the app pulled/scored either. Either an active Delta pilot needs to send an email to the hiring team, or you need to get noticed at a job fair (the latter only what I have gathered from reading the boards).

Those with a low GPA don't sweat it. I had a 2.6 at a Big Ten school (non-aviation) and got hired, so hang in there. They do hand score the apps that is certain so they should be looking at the big picture if your's gets looked at. As for the magic of getting looked at I'm not sure beyond what everyone else has stated.

Why in the world would anybody who is serious about landing a major airline job want to go into an interview and wing it is mind numbing.
People do it all the time because they are too cheap and too lazy to put forth the effort and foolishly walk away empty handed.
The interview test portion is no joke. When you see fighter pilots walking away with tears in there eyes because they did not meet the cut it's humbling to say the least.
This is not the type of interview you want to wing. What good is it to get all excited about the opportunity and drink the Kool Aid the day of the interview once you finally get there only to realize you could of been better prepared hoping it all works out.

Yup, I wouldn't bother with any prep. Just wing it.

Any if you hook the test, someone with your qualifications would have no trouble finding a top-flight job in either the food service or housekeeping industries.

Is this a joke? Do you know how many people would kill to get an interview invite from Delta and you are willing to "wing it"?
