Ranks top 5 every year in what ranking event?
Don't get me wrong, I think Auburn is a great school. It's just that we spent lots of time, just over a year ago, visiting many of the "best" university flight schools. Auburn had older airplanes, with average maintenance. Their degree program was under the school of business until this year. They don't even have a physical building yet (though they've broken ground on one recently). It's an okay program. It provides quality training for future airline pilots. IMO it's a few years away from comparing with Riddle, ND, MTSU, WMU, etc.

The students will take the entire mainline interview spread out over several months. As far as I know, they will be held to the same interview standards as any other interview candidate. Just like the current interview, if they fail the MMPI they are forever disqualified from interviewing at Delta in the future.
As far as the requirements to even apply, they must be a junior or senior with a CFI.

Currently, they must be enrolled at one of Delta's "partner" institutions. Basically, the schools that provide the reduced ATP requirements, and are AABI certified. For now, it's only a handful of schools, but more coming soon. Their degree field must qualify them for the R-ATP.
They must (currently) be a junior or senior and have at-least a Private Pilot Certificate. Delta will also accept recent graduates (within 6 months) of these schools, who are flight instructors.

It will not be the same interview process. It's a completely new beast. And they do not need to have a CFI.

I did misspeak about the CFI requirement. However, you can bet the recently graduated will all have their CFI already as it’s the foundation of the program.

Propel Advance is only for Delta employees. If you are one there is more info on DeltaNet. My guess because it’s linked to DeltaNet, they don’t want the Advance details out in public yet.

I absolutely understand - I spent 5 years in corporate strategy / finance at a different major, and just recently returned to flying. We currently have no formal 'pathway' back to the flight deck, and wanted to understand what other airlines were doing, to see if it would be worth lobbying for a similar program.
Thank you!
Thank you!
In a nutshell, the Advance program is for the employees who are “overqualified” meaning more flight time and closer to ATP mins. They will have to develop their own plan to get to Delta and have it approved by Flight Ops.
