It’s not a flow. It’s disingenuous at best to keep calling it that. AA WO's have flow. If you know anything about this program you should know a flow isn’t what this is.
The 1000 121 time requirement as stated on the Propel website simply matches Delta's minimum hiring requirements of 1000 fixed-wing turboprop or turbine time. The students will be given a list of expectations as they gain acceptance into the program. Those expectations will be made known as the student applies and interviews.

It’s not a CJO. It’s a Qualified JO. Totally different monsters. Propel students will be expected to upgrade. If they don’t they will have to explain why before going to Delta. The hiring process isn’t spread over several years. That’s a gross misconception. They take the full two day interview given a few months apart. Wouldn’t that be more stressful? You can also be assured the students that will be selected to interviewed will also have clean records and backgrounds. Again, nothing different than 9E.
They get their QJO and then their career is put under a microscope for a very long time and will have to stay in touch with a Delta pilot mentor. They will also have to interview at the DCI carrier they ultimately fly for. That job won’t just be handed to them also.
I submit their path won’t be any easier than a current 9E pilot. It will simply be different.

Also, 1000hrs 121 time is what is required to even upgrade at a regional. So you would have to explain to Delta that you couldn't upgrade because of the regulations?

You sound like one of the mentors, but you have a military background. What makes life stressful at a regional, is not knowing where your career is headed. A highly structured Propel program is a massive relief.

I am involved in the program but 100% civilian. I was caught in the regional stagnation that started in the ‘06-‘08 timeframe. Everything about this program should cause me envy and frustration. However, this is about helping those that come after me. I am serving in this program because it is good for Delta and our future.
We won’t take them before they hit 1000 121 time. When they do they will still be expected to upgrade.

I could be wrong, but I think it a was a poor attempt at stereo typing the current student pilot/ CFI generation that would be eligible for propel via the college track. I think it was tied to popular belief of teens and young adults taking stupid photos on various social media platforms. Just a guess though.

I read recently that the Millennial generation stopped in 1996 and was replaced by Gen Z or iGen as some call it in 1997. It may surprise some here that Gen Z is more independent self-reliant, cautious, practical, and more averse to student debt. Studies have also shown that they drink less, do drugs less and have less sex than millennials.
All that said, starting as early as next year, college graduates (based on age 22) will not be in the millennial generation. So this stereotype most likely won’t apply to Propel students.
