I've done prescreening (aka looking at resumes and determining who gets to talk to the actual recruiters) for Boeing a number of times at the career fair. We do look at GPA but in a very general sense. A GPA above a 3.0 is almost mandatory and above a 3.4 or 3.5 is very helpful. The key thing we look for, however, is excitement in Boeing and what it does. It's amazing how many people won't have a good answer for why they'd want to work for the company they're talking to.
