So let me get this straight. You have guys that have been grinding it out in the regionals for years (if not decades) trying to get a call from a 404 number and an airline that has 10,000 apps on file yet they are going to head to a flight school and offer a pimply student pilot a job with Delta? This makes absolutely no sense. There is simply no need for this. Regionals yes, mainline no.Originally Posted by gtflyer
I've heard a regional chief pilot at Delta talk about the pathway program. Delta will recruit at the major aviation universities (e.g. ERAU, UND, WMU, MTSU, AU, etc.) and offer them a job on the spot. After they graduate they will work as a CFI until they get the hours need for an ATP and then work at Endeavor until they're able to flow into Delta. Not sure on the time line for everything but it would seem that you can go from graduation to Delta in only about 3-4 years.
