MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — An overflow crowd of 300-plus very interested Department of Aerospace professional pilot majors and those from other areas heard the Delta Propel pitch that could ultimately land them with career positions with the major airline.
They attended the official launch of the Delta Propel Pilot Career Path Program Friday (Aug. 31) in the Student Union Ballroom where a team of Delta pilots outlined the program’s guidelines and encouraged students to apply for the fast-track program.
MTSU aerospace is one of eight universities selected by Delta earlier this summer to identify and mentor the next generation of pilots because of looming retirements, and it was announced the airline will be looking to hire employees in mechanical, management/leadership, information technology, engineering, meteorology and other fields.
