Relationships Established To Give ERAU Grads An Edge With The
Airlines
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University has established a
partnership with Atlantic Southeast Airlines (ASA) and Delta Air
Lines that will give a hiring advantage to Embry-Riddle students
interested in flying for the two airlines.
Under the new agreement, Embry-Riddle aeronautical science
(professional pilot) students in their junior year will be
evaluated for possible employment as ASA first officers. Students
must pass a battery of tests, maintain minimum grade point
averages, complete Embry-Riddle’s advanced jet training
courses and attain the ratings of Private Pilot, Commercial
Pilot/Instrument and Multi-Engine, Certified Flight Instructor, and
Certified Flight Instructor/Instrument.
Students accepted into the program will be monitored by ASA
throughout their education and must serve as a flight instructor
for a certain period of time. Those who meet ASA’s
requirements will receive a conditional offer of employment. While
flying for ASA and accumulating experience, qualified candidates
will be offered an interview with Delta.
“I’m proud to say that Atlantic Southeast and Delta
chose to partner with us on the basis of our comprehensive flight
education curriculum and the quality of our students and flight
instructors,” said Jerry Kidrick, chair of the Flight
Department at Embry-Riddle’s Prescott campus.
His counterpart at the university’s Daytona Beach campus,
Ken Byrnes, is enthusiastic about the new partnership. “This
agreement is a win-win for both the airlines and our
students,” he said. “It provides students with a
clearly defined career path while ensuring a pipeline of highly
qualified professionals for the airlines.”
