4.0 GPA for my master's degree. 31 years old.
Worked as an airline pilot for 6 years before transitioning to a leadership role in a US university focused on aviation - have been working for the university for the past 5 years. Post MBA target is to return to the airline industry with a role in finance.
The US Airlines aer not super friendly towards H1B sponsorships, though they have lots of experience with crews using the airline visa. I honestly don't know enough but this is a bit of a niche goal and you need to really demonstrate that you are easily going from and to this niche industry and it will be super easy for you to recruit. Otherwise, AdCom's won't like it and that could be a reason for some of the dings, because they may think you have not done enough research or not serious enough about the goals. Just FYI.
I know you already applied but if you are considering around two, that’s what I would recommend doing.
