You mean there is a school on that list that is good at football besides Western Michigan? I had not even noticed...

LOL what an accomplishment. I’d care more about a synchronized swimming championship than the list of competitions you just listed off. Nerdvana at its finest.

Not sure if it was already mentioned but why does one have to “job-share” as an instructor with the University if one goes the Delta Private Jets track? Do they assume that those guys just aren’t busy enough already?

I doubt anyone will go that path. Once you get accepted to the program, the fastest path is through DCI. Furthermore, the best contract, and the lowest risk is Endeavor. Our operating procedures are aligned with Delta as well, so it will be an easier transition. That's why I think most will wind up at 9E, unless you live in the base of another DCI carrier.

Oh Holier than thou what great insight you have with the nerd comment.
I was speaking of Western Michigan University. One of the most highly-ranked collegic aviation programs in the country. NIFA team accomplishments are just one of the metrics they achieve high ranks in. I'm sure you wouldn't be degrading them without solid knowledge of how it works through your own experience, correct? Or are you throwing out opinions you know nothing about. The school's performance is part of the reason it was on the short list for one of the universities Delta wanted to program with. But I'm sure Delta doesn't know what they're doing either as far as this school selection.
You can Google it yourself. Most Aviation sources place it in the top ten and usually in the top five.

Comair had an ab-initio program with WMU in the early 2000s. It ended when 230 hour pilots had to make new hire jet transitions. It's not easy going from 15 hrs in a Dutchess to V1 at your former cruise speed. I'm sure all these programs are excellent but with no more turboprops, a couple hundred hours of multi time goes a long way. There's no shortcut for experience.
