ERAU Partners with Atlantic Southeast, Delta On Pilot Employment

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.”
