The Delta Propel Flight Academy, operated in partnership with training provider Skyborne Airline Academy, will open its doors to the first class of students in June and is now accepting applications from interested candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Propel Flight Academy is the latest chapter in our longstanding commitment to invest in and create new, equitable pathways for qualified talent to enter the pilot profession,\u201d said Patrick Burns, Delta\u2019s V.P. \u2013 Flight Operations and System Chief Pilot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Student pilots will be eligible to receive up to $20,000 from Delta in financial support. Delta will also cover the cost of interest on student loans from select lenders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2192<strong><em> <a href=\"https:\/en\/2023\/03\/delta-pilots-approve-new-contract-with-34-wage-increase.html\">Delta pilots approve new contract with 34% wage increase<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Propel Pilot Academy will be based in a newly refurbished 12,000-square-foot facility situated within Skyborne\u2019s Vero Beach, Florida, campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Student pilots will complete private, instrument, commercial and certified flight instructor training, delivered in an airline-focused way. Once students have completed their first certificate or rating at the Propel Flight Academy, they will be eligible to apply to the Propel Pilot Career Path Program. Those who are selected will be required to meet certain performance milestones throughout training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once students have successfully completed certified flight instructor training, they will be offered employment with Skyborne as a certified flight instructor. In that role, they will receive full sponsorship from Skyborne for Certified Flight Instructor Instrument and Multi Engine Instructor Rating, as well as a generous salary and private health benefits, until they reach 1,500 hours. Upon completion, employment will begin at one of Delta\u2019s Connection Carriers as a first officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For additional information, please visit <a
