Tread lightly, you'd be surprised.

So here is a question.

I already have a four year degree and good GPA. I took a couple community college classes a few years back in accounting to become more financially literate and did well in them and enjoyed it.

Last year, I thought about taking additional classes towards my accounting degree. I enrolled at a different online community college for classes. I ended up taking only the orientation class which was graded pass/fail (I passed). I ended up not taking any more classes since I ended up upgrading, needed to focus on training, and things finally started moving nicely in the industry and decided to pursue it at a later date (layoff or medical issue).

So, i technically have a transcript from this college and all it shows is the "success" for the orientation class. I included this in my education section of airline apps, but I left the GPA blank since I don't have any classes that count toward GPA (Technically, I guess that would mean a 0 GPA).

Is not including a GPA going to hurt? I put a note in field of study that read "Accounting, only took orientation class, did not take any classes that count towards GPA"

All my other GPA's for my four year degree and the first community college are above 3.9

It sounds like you handled it just fine. It gets scored by a human, so a N/A and explanation should be no problem.

N/A is sufficient. Don't leave it blank.

As noted prior, there are eyes on these apps. Everyone thinks it's entitely computer driven...... It's not.

Thanks for making my morning! You obviously don't know squat one about Derg, he'd find this post hilarious! Might even give him a call later to give him a heads up. You sound butthurt over someone helping instead of pulling up the ladder.

This guy Fegelein (who apparently is an acquaintance of mine since he knows my Marine Corps nickname though I don't have a clue who he is ), is having a great time amusing himself on a variety of forums expounding on ACMI , FedEx's future, and now apparently he is haunting the Delta threads, like most trolls he is the voice of negativity , here to stir things up not to add anything meaningful to the conversation,best to ignore him, though in truth I am genuinely curious to where we actually crossed paths. Cheers.

9 of 16 hired today. My buddy didn't have too many details because the group was split at the start of the day, but he did say only 1 of the FOs interviewed made it and 3 pure mil guys didn't.
