You and me both. Actually a little longer. I got a fix it email about a work history gap...except I have (even when I got the email) every second locked down from the time I was born on there. I don't know what they want or how to fix it and I'm about to have a nervous breakdown. Any suggestions from anyone?

I had a classmate of mine in AOCS who stayed in the Navy for his twenty years. He was hired at NWA and offered a class date which he turned down for a later date. He wanted to take a little time off before starting class. We were in contract negotiations at the the time. Before he started class we signed a new contract. He was in the first B Scale class. A very expensive decision. I am not saying that will happen again but in this career, seniority is everything .

That's a good thought but I think it might be the top 5% of tier 1 although I read a post a while back of a guy that said AK told him was in tier 2 and he had an interview as well. Who really knows but it at least appears that GPA is a huge part of determining your score. They rank your degree, school you attended, your GPA and how long it took you to get your degree. I have yet to hear of one civilian that has less than a 3.7 GPA get an interview.

As a data point I got hired in Nov with a 3.3 GPA. From the outside looking in I know it's easy to overthink what tick gets somebody interview. It's way more wholistic than a GPA or a speeding ticket.

I wasn't in the military, so I'll take Purple at his word. I'm sure a break after many years in the Air Force would be great before starting training at a brand new job. However, a guy who was hired two classes ahead of me endured a 2 plus year furlough, and I was out 4.5 years. Every number matters, even with a large pilot group. I hope no one ever goes through that crap again, but my two cents is get to class as soon as possible, not just for seniority within a category, but overall.

Can you tell me what other background you have. I know it's more wholistic but it would appear that GPA is a big part of the algorithm in getting the interview. I'm sure there are some exceptions to the rule but they seem to have a connection or a military background.

Has anyone actually gotten verification about the "vault" letter making this exception? I've tried and run into a brick wall. I know that the E to D pilot program requires all new hires at Endeavor to meet the requirement. That program is making quite the stir.
