Launched in 2018, Delta’s Propel Pilot Career Path program identifies, selects and develops the next generation of pilots. The largest-ever class just joined the Propel Company Path, diversifying the pilot population and contributing to the steady pipeline of talented pilots.
Delta’s Propel program officially opened the Propel Flight Academy on Tuesday in Vero Beach, Florida. There, in partnership with Skyborne Aviation, aspiring pilots can enroll in a formal flight training program that from day one maps out a course to a job as a Delta pilot. Students can receive up to $20,000 in financial support.
