So I’m almost finished with my application and have a few questions.
I’m about to send it out to a few regionals and was wondering, regarding my GPA, should I just estimate the GPA as best I can? Or should I first request my transcript to get the actual instead of guessing before hitting the submit button? I read on another thread which is like 3 years old that someone suggested you put ‘GPA-Estimated’ if you can’t recall exactly without the transcript in front of you. Is that still good advice?
On the subject of flight times, most of my times are dead on and reflect what’s in my logbook, however, my PIC and total time were off by about 10-15 hours. I understand the app rounds the flight times, so that has a little to do with the differences, but it appears now that I made some minor logging errors over the years. Will my app be looked at with flight times that are off by 10 hours compared to what my resume says?
Regarding job history, I was a ‘job hopper’ up until about my late 20’s, when I finally decided to grow up a little. I’ve gotten much better at staying at my last 2 jobs (aviation jobs) for longer. Do airline recruiters look at job hopping unfavorably, even if much of it was when you were much younger (I’m 31)? I understand these days job hopping is kinda considered the new ‘normal.’ But how do airline recruiters look at that even in today’s hiring climate?
