BATTLE CREEK (WKZO AM/FM) — Delta Airlines is looking for pilots.
A boon in air travel, the imposition of a mandatory retirement age for pilots and the fact that fewer pilots are coming out of the military has left Delta projecting an 8,000 pilot shortage over the next few years.
That’s why they were at WMU’s Campus this weekend, introducing their new Delta Propel Career Path Program to Students at the WMU Aviation School in Battle Creek.
Delta’s Emily Coaker says this is just one of many ways they are trying to entice more young people into looking into a career in Aviation.
She says if they join the program and fulfill all the requirements, they will have guaranteed job in a cockpit when they are ready to fly.
