Expressjet/ASA GPA for interview?
 
Quick question that I couldn't find in a search, is there a minimum GPA required to get hired at XJT/ASA? Someone had mentioned this at one point to me and I wasn't sure if it was true. I'm a current veteran finishing my BS from ERAU online and was curious if a 2.9 was "acceptable" for them.

Thanks!

One of the recruiters told me the minimum was 2.5. You should be okay with a 2.9...even if it is from Riddle.:D

Ok, thanks! Any reason why a hard deck for GPA? It doesn't make much sense to me at least.

If I was hiring people, I would want a hard deck. Or would you hire people with a 1.5 or lower GPA? Just saying...;)

What if you didn't even go to college? I've got several buddies that work at both that didn't go to college. I interviewed there too and no one asked about my gpa. I do know that if you put some college or graduated from college on your app that they'll want transcripts. If there is a hard number I haven't seen it published and my buddies are clueless as to if they do or not. 2.9 is pretty good. Close to an all B average.

George Bush had a 2.0 and he became president twice.

Don't let them fool you. Plenty of people there with out degrees .... Plenty !

It's all about supply and demand , when they need it they ll take kids while attending pre school. Like any other airline...

J/K but you get the point.

Good luck

A lot of intelligent people never went to college. IMO if you cant pull a 2.5 in college you really just wasted your time and money. They are looking at the whole picture when they hire someone. If I bombed in college I would seriously debate on not listing it as it would make me look worse then a person who had never gone to school. A 2.9 isn't a bad average and I dont think they will give you any gripes about that.

Some people worked 3 jobs to get through college. I didn't graduate with a 2.5, but does that make me less intelligent than someone with a 4.0 in Art History? Look at the whole package not some meaningless number that tells nothing of the person. It's like hours in the logbook.......

The fact that you didn't go college should be taken into consideration as well. Like others have said, it's not only supply and demand but also, these things such as GPA make up part of the big picture. Personally, all things being equal, I'll take someone with a 2.9 rather than a 1.5.
