Propel
Can anyone confirm what’s going on with a program called “Propel?” I’ve heard that it’s a 0 to Hero Program for graduates of select colleges to get a no-interview flow to Delta. They selectees have to work 42 months for a Delta Connection carrier then go straight to mainline. Apparently existing DC pilots aren’t allowed to participate.

How can it be a “0 to hero” program if they choose from “select colleges?”
What/who is your source?

Didn't know it had a name yet. Details still being worked out, from what I understand. Basically setting pipelines in place to feed regional carriers and then us with pilots in the coming years. Interviews for program involvement on our end were advertised via newsletter a while back, and held early in the year. Still beats a flow, as far as control over the incoming new hires go.

Except it’s much more comprehensive than you think you know.

My understanding is the young adult is interviewed sometime during college and basically given a Delta CJO. Finish college, instruct, fly at Endeavor, Class date at DL. No more interviews just straight to class - that’s one of the more prominent differences between ‘propel’ and the current Endeavor to DL program.

A former student of mine from ERAU was in a focus group with Delta about this program. She said candidates interview in college and get CJO contingent on flying for a DC airline and keeping a clean PRIA/ background record.
